Everyone experiences stress — and finance is one of the primary sources.

Even those who have saved and worked hard for decades can feel it. Luckily there are some simple ways you can manage this stress and improve your situation.

One way is to find healthy outlets for your stress. Crafting, cooking, and other creative outlets are great ways to occupy your mind and build up positive energy.

To solve your problems, focus on one thing at a time; small amounts of progress pay off big time in the long run, and stop you from getting overwhelmed.

Lastly, know your triggers. For example, if you’re upset about Social Security being shorted in our current economic situation, consider what you can do about it.
