MT Week - Four ways to build up your financial resilience

Have you already given up on your new year’s resolution? Did you even have one?

Last year I informally promised myself to read more books so it’s ironic that I’m still stuck on chapter one of Tiny Habits, a philosophy of how incremental changes can slowly transform the way you live.

When it comes to money though, I’m much more on top of things.

I’ve had to be - a bout of unexpected illness meant I had to take extended time off last year, not to mention all the hours spent on hospital appointments leading up to surgery.

When you’re a freelancer like me, no work means no pay.

I’ve managed to make things work, but I’m definitely in a position where I need to catch up financially in the coming year.

So this Money Talk is all about financial resilience. After all, being financially prepared was how I managed to get through the past year.
