Ep.066 Adding Up - Avoiding Panic Mode With Interest Rates Rising

This episode includes:

Interest rates have risen for the first time in more than 10 years. I’m doing my best to not go into panic mode. I’m revisiting all my habits I set up when I started my journey to become debt free. I’m reminding myself of what works. It’s okay to not be okay, the key thing is to find and reach out to your support network. Groceries are needed but are all of them needed? What is in the cupboard? Can I make it from scratch? The oven is broken, now what?

My 3 highlights from this week are shared:

My Best Saving - Waiting to purchase what I need when it is on sale!

My Best Learning - Saying no can give the opportunity for yes

Money Bravery - Talk about your fears

Repeat behaviours can be hard to break. Things like over spending, using credit cards, avoiding difficult conversations, saying yes all the time. When you are not agreeable you risk offending others. But who pays the consequences of this?

The discovery of my most popular episode in the last month ‘How do you cope with the rising cost of groceries.’
