Being stressed over money is a normal thing that almost everyone goes through in their life. Not having enough money to pay for groceries, bills, or to support the family can be devastating to our mental and emotional health and can often lead to depression. As well as affecting yourself, your stress may be contagious, affecting the lives of everyone who you have a mutual caring for. But there are ways to relieve yourself of this stress since it doesn’t help us get were we want to be, it only creates more obstacles and can lead to even more stress.

Breaking out of this vicious circle of money related stress problems can be difficult, but not impossible. It requires a reversal of you mindset and beliefs. Follow the tips given in this article and it may help you overcome the stress you face because of money.

Talk to someone about it. When you dwell on a misfortune alone, you are thinking about all the negative things you have done and “what could have been” if you acted accordingly. Talking and discussing it with others will allow you to focus on your future and what you can do to improve your current situation. Others can think of things you haven’t or have overlooked. They are also a source of hope and inspiration for you when you face tough times.

Plan ahead. Accept that you are in a financial dilemma and think of ways to get out of it. Create a new plan to get out of the predicament. Make sure the steps of the plan are not vague, make them as precise and as distinct as possible so you don’t get sidetracked. Take time to think about any problems the plan may have but don’t dwell on it. Sometimes to get out of these types of problems you need to simply act.

These are two tips to get you started but in the end, if you want to escape your financial difficulties, you have to be determined and patient, it won’t happen overnight.

Ellie Kay is knows as America’s Family Financial Expert I am sharing a Book Review I did in 2005 of “The Debt Diet.

Who would have thought way back when the author and her husband were struggling to pay down their $40K-debt that one day, their “problem” would be turned around to help save the lives of one million strangers in a far away land.

Ellie Kay is a bestselling award winning author, national radio commentator, and regular media guest as well as gifted speaker. She is a graduate of Colorado Christian University with a degree in the management of human resources.

The author is the founder of Shop, Save and Share Seminars, and speaks to live audiences of 6,000 people or more. She is also a frequent consultant and spokesperson for corporations and organizations.

Whether you need to lose a few pounds of debt, or a truckload, the good news is that you can read this book.

But as odd as it sounds, conflicts over money are not always about money, according to Jack Otter, with Smart Money Magazine.

Many large churches offer financial counseling for free or on a sliding scale based upon your income and situation.

Seek to understand before being understood: This is taken straight out of Stephen Covey’s book “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.” There’s a reason why Covey sold a gazillion copies of this book. In the emotionally arena of money and matrimony, it’s important to agree that you will try to understand what your spouse is saying before seeking to be understood.

Proof that the problem of unclaimed money is a national problem is evident from the fact that the Maine Unclaimed Property Division owes 122 million dollars to more than 500,000 people spread all over the nation. The money is waiting to be claimed by its rightful owners.

To be more specific, a staggering 578,000 people are owed unclaimed money by the State of Maine. There are some unclaimed funds checks that range from $50 to $100. However, some claims exceed even ten thousand dollars. Now, that is a lot of money.

Do not ignore unclaimed money in Maine. The single largest claim is worth $222,000 plus stock. What if this was owed to you?

Unclaimed money can come into existence from the most ordinary transactions. It may result due to the fact that an individual had deposited money in a savings or checking account and then had forgotten about the same. It could result from inheritances that the inheritor is not aware of. Bonds, stocks, dividends- all can result in unclaimed money. If you have abandoned your money and if it has remained so for three years or more, your money must have become unclaimed money.

That $10.4 million of Maine’s unclaimed funds was repaid last year is touted as a major achievement. However, the truth is that $25 million got added as new unclaimed money last year. The net gain was of -$15 million in the last year.

The residents of this nation must find out whether they are owed Maine unclaimed funds or not.

A simple search, based on your name, is sufficient to determine whether lost fund is owed to you or not. The same can be done for your family and your friends as well. Some of the unclaimed funds databases covers the state databases as well as the federal databases. Do find out whether your friends or family members are owed money or not. Simply searching for your money will not do.

To claim funds, documentary evidence is required. You will have to submit the proof of identification. You may have to submit proof of ownership of funds as well. The states unclaimed assets division sees inflow of unclaimed cash throughout the year. Hence, you must check at least three to four times in a year for Maine unclaimed funds.

Do not restrict your search to unclaimed funds from Maine alone. You may be owed money from another state or from the federal base. Considering the fact that $35 billion is owed to millions in the nation today, you could still be owed unclaimed cash.

You or your immediate family members may be owed unclaimed money. Use the money wisely and enjoy the unexpected income.

Lawrence Losoncy asked:




Only fools and dead people have no worries. Human nature being what it is, all of us worry about money. We worry about money when we have too little, when we have enough and when we have extra. But not everyone worries equally.

Those who worry well about money are relatively stress free when it comes to money management, no matter whether the concerns are about too little money or how to best manage adequate and surplus funds. Those who do not know how to worry about money are nervous wrecks and consider finances to be a headache producer.

I suggest three rules of thumb about how to handle the financial concerns that go with every business and that are usually pressing concerns with small businesses.

First: organize the worries. Financial matters fall into a very few categories such as cash flow, debt management, credit development, receivables, taxes and asset management. Each have their own considerations and need to be well-organized, carefully filed and accurately tracked. For example, with cash flow it is important to have cash on hand to meet daily expenses and payrolls. With credit is is important to develop lines of credit, the longer the better. But aside from writing legibly and making careful notes and entries, none of these money matters merit non-stop attention.

Translating the worries into organized tasks that can be accomplished is a way of acting on the worries instead of worrying. If organizing the worries into action is step one, then step two becomes scheduling the dates on which the actions occur. Change the worry to action, schedule the action, and live worry-free during the interim.

Second: schedule the tasks and do them faithfully at the proper times. Get the taxes done on time. Be sure to make payroll on time every time. Organize debt payments to be automatically deducted or do them manually on the same date each month. It might be that the various tasks related to financial management of the business require a total number of hours each month equal to less than one work day! By organizing and scheduling the financial tasks a new perspective becomes possible: financial management of the business is not a big headache, just a collection of routine tasks!

Third: worry about the finances on purpose. Remember, we are all humans. It is human to worry. The manager of a small business and indeed of any-sized business will worry about finances, no matter how well-organized and efficient the company’s management of financial tasks and policies. The goal is to be worry free in between the tasks you have organized. But the human mind does not always adhere to schedules.

Ridiculous as it may seem, commit yourself to worry on purpose when you “feel it coming on.” Just be sure the worry session has a beginning and end before you get into the worrying. Keep it short: ten minutes is far more than enough to worry yourself sick and get it out of your system. This is a different approach than being half-worried or a little worried or stuffing down the worry.

Nagging worries simply produce a sense of unease. By comparison, an all-out bone-rattling worry acts like a strong storm: it clears the atmosphere so calm can return. Venting out fears, worries and anxiety is a cleansing antidote as old as human nature. Use it as often as needed. It won’t let you down.

Managing a small business brings with it plenty of financial problems and challenges. It is human nature to sit up and take notice of financial problems. Just remember, they never really go away, they only mutate. Managing worry is the best approach: organize the worries, turn them into tasks and schedule the tasks. When you need to worry do it with abandon. The rest of the time enjoy successfully managing the financial aspects of your business!
