Money Anxiety Is Real (and You’re Not Alone)

Money Anxiety Is Real (and You’re Not Alone)

I used to avoid talking about money.
Not because I didn’t care — but because someone else handled it.

My ex managed the bills, the savings, the long-term plans.
I had my paycheck, and I gave what I could — to help my family, my siblings, my parents.
But I didn’t learn how to save. Or invest. Or plan.

After the divorce, I was devastated.
There were debts, rent, and responsibilities I didn’t know how to manage.

That’s when I realised:
Everyone needs to know what’s going on with the money.

We are not just passengers in our own lives.
And it’s never too late to take the wheel.

So many of us hit midlife with this quiet, rising fear:
“Am I going to be okay?”

But here’s the truth no one tells you —
Financial anxiety doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
It means you care.
And that’s where clarity begins.

Talk about it.
You’re not too late.
You’re not alone.
You’re just beginning again — with eyes open this time.

Money silence is heavy.
Share your worry with someone safe.
Let yourself be supported.
