Shannah Shares: How Can I Reach My Money Goals When I’m Always Stressed Out

Welcome back to another episode of Shannah Shares Community Q&A. In this episode, I’m answering a listener question from Richard. “Hi Shannah. I feel like I know you but I only know you through my earbuds three times a week. Thanks for this show. Honestly, it’s given me life in a time when I felt so stressed out with money. I’m 41 and to be completely transparent with you I’ve never really learned about money. I’ve just fumbled my way through. I would imagine someone else is listening and agreeing. My parent’s never taught me about money, I didn’t learn it in school and I’ve felt left to figure this all out. I’m doing pretty well as far as salary but I don’t have a lot to show for it at the end of the month. That’s hard to admit. Even though I make 6 figures I’m still living paycheck to paycheck and it’s stressing me the f out. I set all these money goals all the time and then I never reach them. In fact, I just don’t make progress because I feel like I’m full of so much money shame, guilt, and just anxiety. I don’t want to live stressed anymore and I know that is what is in the way of me making progress. You’ve been so great at helping me see how I can’t make good money choices when I’m full of anxiety. Thank you for talking about something that no other money person seems to address. You’ve done so many great episodes around this I’m curious if there’s one that you think I have to listen to ….even listen to again to let the words sink in. I may be your biggest fan because I feel like I have your calming voice to encourage me each week. Thanks again, Richard.” Links Muse Muse mobile app Ariel Garten on LinkedIn Episode Sponsors Get started with Issuu today for FREE or if you sign up for a premium account you will get 50% off when you go to ISSUU.com/mymoney.
