It’s not easy to find financial happiness. Not many of us have the funds in our banks to help us settle down in life without any monetary cares. The truth is, most of us struggle with low incomes, debt, bills, and those unexpected events that rip up our bank balance.

However, the key to financial happiness isn’t having an overflowing wallet and bank account. It is about being smart with the money we have; even it isn’t very much.

While you may not be rich, here are several ways to help you reach financial happiness.



Create a financial planner

You aren’t going to find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, and it is rare you will find an unexpected cheque waiting for you in your mailbox. Whatever money you do have is going to come from the money you earn. Sit down and make a list of all the outgoings you have each month, and budget accordingly. Consider the bills you pay, transport costs, food, ongoing debts, etc. Effective planning means you will know what money you have to spend on the fun things, having the peace of mind that the necessities have been taken care of.

Preparing for the unexpected

Life is full of surprises, so there will be times when an incident occurs that will prove costly. This may include unexpected medical bills, car breakdowns, and problems within the home. While it may cost you extra each month, taking out the proper insurance cover will prove beneficial when disaster strikes. This may include life insurance in the sad event of the death of a family member, and home insurance to protect from unforeseen building damage. Saving whatever money you can each month will also help you when difficult times arise. Knowing you have financial backup will give you peace of mind.

Know your rights

There will be times when, through no fault of your own, you will face a huge bill that you can’t afford. For example, you may be in a car accident with the other party to blame. As well as the damage to your car, you may also suffer physically as the result of that person. A personal injury lawyer will fight your case and get the compensation you need. Whatever the situation, don’t always assume you have to pay for something when it isn’t your fault.

Be responsible

Quite simply, don’t spend money you know you can’t afford. We all like to have treats from time to time, but ensure you have the money in your bank account first. Many people use their credit cards and max them out quickly through unwise spending. Credit cards don’t give you free money as you need to pay it back, including the interest. Only use them when you need to, and pay off the balance each month to avoid unnecessary charges. Not only will you avoid further debt, but you will also receive a good credit score as well.
