Default Re: Help! Dealing with that painful Downswing

LIRob23 -

#1 You don't need to fully furnish your apartment right off the bat. There is no rush and you'll be surprised by how many people start offerring you their old stuff.

#2 I think that you got used to a certain living style and now that you are faced with changing it, you are freaking out about all sorts of money issues. It'll get worse before it gets better, but you will survive.

#3 Decide what you are going to do with your bankroll. If it will be used as supplemental income, then you need to move down limits and figure out how much will be needed, etc.

#4 Move down limits anyways. You've been through the swings before, it just hasn't had as much of an impact on your financial thinking as it does now. A lower limit will help you stay even keeled.

#5 Remember to stay positive.
