When trying to stop comparing yourself to others, it’s important to only focus on where you have come from to where you are now. It’s human nature to look at other people, especially when it comes to money. But if you want to be content with your own financial situation, comparing yourself with others is the thief to your personal joy, peace & happiness. Instead, focus on how far you have come and how much progress you have made in improving your finances. This blog post or Youtube video will discuss practical ways to stop comparing yourself financially and start appreciating the progress you’ve made.

Stop Comparing by Taking Control of Your Finances
The first step to stop comparing yourself to others is to focus on yourself and take control of your financial situation. You can do this by creating a saving and spending plan that actually works for you. When creating a spending plan, think only about what works best for you and your values. Get clear on your values. Your values are what is most important to you.
It can be helpful to talk through your spending plan with someone who is knowledgeable about money management. As an AFC (Accredited Financial Counselor), I can certainly help you. Once you have a plan that makes sense for your lifestyle, stick with it! You will feel more in control of your finances if you make conscious decisions about where your money is going. Not to mention, reacting to expenses is a setup for disaster.
Reaching Financial Goals Is Empowering
Once you’ve set up an effective saving and spending plan, the next step is setting goals and working towards them. Setting realistic goals gives us something to work towards, which is taking control of your finances. It’s also motivating and exciting and takes our minds off other people and puts it on our money! This is all about making a plan for financial success. Setting small, achievable goals is really important. Remember, many tiny baby steps can make a huge impact. Not only do these goals help us stay motivated, but they also help us appreciate our progress along the way. Achieving the smallest goals boosts our confidence quickly. In addition, helps us realize that we are capable of being in control of our financial journey without comparing ourselves to anyone else.
One last thing…
At the end of the day, no one else can determine what success looks like for us financially—that’s why personal finances are just that – personal! we must decide what works best for our individual situations and values without worrying about what everyone else is doing. So instead of comparing ourselves financially with others around us, let’s focus on creating a personal saving and spending plan. Then, use it as an opportunity to set realistic financial goals. With this kind of self-focused approach, single moms everywhere can take charge of their financial lives no matter where they are starting from!
