Financial burnout is a condition where someone feels emotionally and mentally exhausted due to prolonged stress related to managing their finances. This condition isn't just about "not enough money," but also about mental burdens, worries, and a sense of failure in achieving financial stability. Many young workers experience this without realizing it, feeling anxious every time they open their banking app, afraid to check their balance, or feeling guilty every time they make a purchase.
Common Causes of Financial Burnout
1. Some of the most common factors that trigger financial burnout include:
2. High cost of living, especially in big cities, making it feel like income is never enough.
3. Social pressures and a consumerist lifestyle, such as the desire to follow trends or "revenge shopping."
4. Consumer debt burdens, especially from pay later or uncontrolled credit cards.
5. Job uncertainty, which further diminishes the sense of financial security.
Signs You're Experiencing Financial Burnout
1. Feeling stressed or anxious every time you talk about money.
2. Avoiding checking accounts or financial statements.
3. Impulsive shopping to relieve stress.
4. Losing motivation to save or invest.
5. Feeling a lack of direction in achieving your financial goals.
If these signs start to appear, it means you need to restructure your relationship with money.
How to Overcome It
1. Recognize and acknowledge your condition.
2. Ignoring financial problems only exacerbates stress. Acknowledge that you're financially exhausted.3. Create a realistic financial plan.
It doesn't have to be perfect right away. Start with small things like tracking expenses or saving regularly every week.
3. Limit social pressure.
Reduce comparisons with others on social media. Focus on your own needs and abilities.
4. Seek support.
Discuss financial problems with a trusted friend, mentor, or financial consultant. Sometimes solutions come from an outside perspective.
5. Take a break from financial stress.
Take time for yourself, do relaxing activities, and remember that mental well-being is also part of financial health.
