Here we go, into the year end (2023 was a whirlwind, wasn’t it?) … hopefully it’s been a good year personally, in spite of all of the external goings ons… stress makes us all less patient and more trigger-happy on our emotional outbursts. And since the holidays are also a stressful time of interacting with…
Midterms, market, all this STUFF happening, in addition to all of the regular everyday stress we feel. AND, we’re moving into the end of year holidays, can you believe it? This year has rushed by…and for me, not in a good way. 2022 was not my best year. Stress makes us all less patient and…

If you’re constantly confused by money, stressed over money, playing catch up with money, uncertain about it, feeling guilty about it… They’re all signs that you’re likely having some money struggles.
