Takeaways Financial health is an important aspect of overall well-being and should not be neglected. Start by creating a solid foundation, including an emergency fund and understanding your living expenses. Budgeting and tracking your spending are essential for taking control of your finances. Procrastination and mindset issues can hinder financial progress, but consistency and self-belief are key. Break the cycle of not talking about money and seek out communities and resources that normalize these conversations. Social media can contribute to money shame by creating a false sense of comparison and the pressure to keep up with others' lifestyles. Financial abuse occurs in 98% of abusive relationships, making it difficult for victims to leave due to a lack of financial independence. To become financially prepared and thrive after leaving an abusive relationship, it is important to reach out to trusted individuals for support, seek resources from organizations that assist abuse victims, and focus on finding employment and building financial stability. Money is not a thing but a tool that should flow and be controlled by individuals. It is essential to remove fear and shame around money and take proactive steps to improve one's financial situation. Recognize and address the fears that hold you back from taking action with your finances, and seek practical advice and resources to overcome them. Money is energy, and it is important to put positive energy into it while taking action to achieve financial goals.
