Found Money: How To Generate
Quick Cash In An Emergency
Emergency Money
Strategy while Dealing With Debt, Financial Stress & Family
Financial stress is common among those
forced into frugality because of a lost job, divorce, death in
the family, or being overcome with debt, etc. This can cause a
person to feel insecure, fearful, anxious, angry, and, of
course, depressed.
These same feelings are easily the number
one cause of poor money management decisions. These poor
decisions will lead to unmanageable debt loads, and start a
vicious cycle of panic that never seems to end.
When you reach this point, and you find
yourself with a money emergency, your feelings of helplessness
can become so overwhelming you literally stop functioning in the
real world.
YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU TO RAISE EMERGENCY MONEY
Get yourself Immediate Help
If you recognize any of the above traits in
yourself, get the help you need right away. See out a
professional counselor ... talk to a friend or family member …
but talk to someone! If you know someone who is exhibiting the
above traits, offer to help them! It doesn’t matter whether you
lend then cash, an ear, offer some helpful advice, or help them
get counseling, do something!
The first thing that you need to grasp is
that no situation is hopeless. With just a little guidance and
patience, along with a couple of well thought out goals, and
emotional support from family and friends, you can do what it
takes to come out of dire circumstances.
You can adapt a new outlook, new skills,
and best of all, a new feeling of self-esteem. Don’t allow
anyone to tell you different, and if they do, close the same
door that they came into and don’t again open it! What you need
is positive reinforcement and not negativity to help you get to
the other side.
Seek out your True Friends
When you are desperate to raise emergency
funds, it usually doesn’t take very long for you to realize who
really cares about you, who is truly a friend ... be they family
or not. Your friends will be there for you in your time of need,
offer encouragement, and lend an ear so you can just talk. Ask
for help in coming up with good ideas about how you can raise
emergency funds during such a difficult time in your life. Be
open to the many suggestions that you will receive.
Prepare to Set your Priorities
There comes the time when you will need to
put aside your feelings and just concentrate on the well being
of you, and your family. This has to be your priority during
times of financial stress and upheaval. In financially stressful
times, if you, as the Mom or Dad, can’t cope, how can you expect
your children to cope now, or in the future? You must set the
example for the rest of the family to draw strength from them.
So make the decision today to learn how to
cope, to make the changes you can, to stay focused and
goal-oriented, and to let anxiety and financial stress go out
the door so that you will be prepared to deal with any money
emergencies that come your way.
