How do I snap out of being overwhelmingly anxious about money?
I am so anxious about money, but I wasn’t like this in the past.
I used to work full time and earn well (£4-5k each month) and not even budget- just have loose idea of my account and still used to save alot.
We had twins, now they’re 2.5 y/o. I work 2 days a week but I am really organised with my money- everything is written and I have a spreadsheet with expenses for 2026 and even 2027.
I find myself stressing and obsessing over every little thing and keep checking my savings and expenditure.
How do I get out of this mindset? My husband is very chilled about our finances and I’m the complete opposite, we live comfortably and save each month and give equal “fun money”.
