Ok, so if the first thing you said is that money is never kind to you, well you’re preaching to the choir.

Money isn’t kind to any of us, and it shows no mercy to those who seem to need it most. But money is something that you no doubt think about everyday. Whether you’re thinking about the money you’re so desperately waiting for at your next payday, or the money you know is going to come out of your bank account tomorrow,  or that you totally forgot about because it is not one of your planned bills.

This is the life that people live, and you’re not the only one going through the situation that you are. In fact, we bet you will admit that most of your friends surrounding you will have the same comments, and you might have the same monthly rants about your situation and how you wish it could be different, but what do you actually do about it?

Well, this article is going to be all about getting you to do something about it! These solutions will tell you why money isn’t always going to be kind to you, but how you can be kind to it!

The Situations That Make It Worse

Life is not always about the good things. Some of you know all too well that things aren’t always going to go smoothly.

One of the biggest things that can affect your life that you might never see coming, is an accident. Work, social life, in the car, it can so easily happen to you just when you feel like life is sailing so nicely.

A personal injury attorney sees so many people who are suffering with their finances as well as their health after an accident, because their finances are just something they don’t know how to deal with. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you’re off work due to an accident, speaking to a personal injury attorney will give you options.

And if the accident was your fault? Well, that’s what your emergency fund is for. Make sure you have about 3 months’ worth of expenses sitting in a bank account, ready to bail you out when you need it. 

How You’re Making It Worse

We don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but sometimes you will be making things worse for yourself without even realizing.

Being unorganized can result in missed payments, account overdrafts, and bad credit. But this is an easy mistake to fix. Harness the power of apps. Apps are the best thing to grace this earth in terms of organization, and it’s so easy to get your money in order by using them!

How You Can Make Money Kinder

Money isn’t always going to be kind, but you definitely can find ways of making it nicer to you.

One way of doing this is to think about the way you’re spending. Keep your money from flying out of your account as soon as you have it by spending conscientiously. For example, the food shopping you do can easily be reduced if you shop at discounted stores, or even shop online. 

Be kind to your money, and it will be kinder to you!
