Identifying Your Biggest Financial Fears and Taking Steps to Alleviate Them

by RC on July 23, 2008

When I was younger, I feared different things at different times of my life, from the fear of the dark as a kid, to the fear of rejection when talking to girls when I was a teenager. I guess I ended up growing out of most of those, however. I guess I really don’t have too many fears these days, but I do worry about some things, so I guess you could call those my fears. In the not to distant past, I have worried quite a bit about money-related issues, so many of my fears had to do with or can be relieved by proper attention and planning with my finances.

What are your biggest financial fears?

  • Losing your job and not having any income?
  • Not being able to provide for your family?
  • Never being able to retire?
  • Becoming a burden to your children in your old age?
  • Not being able to send your kids to college?
  • I could list many more that you may or may not have, but you can see how many of them relate to money. For each of the money related “fears” listed above, one can take positive steps to insure they happen or don’t happen, to achieve the desired result and alleviate your fears. Planning for your future can eliminate much of the “worry” about these issues.

    What positive steps can you take to alleviate those types of financial fears?

    Afraid of losing your money in the stock market?- Develop a diversified portfolio and invest for the long term.

    Afraid of becoming disabled and not being able to work and earn income? - Look into purchasing a disability insurance policy .
