So, we once again live in a world on the brink of WWIII. Great, just when I had plans for the weekend!

Honestly, all this disaster and crazy politics is really cramping my style. Can’t we have a quiet month for a change?

Do you think people in the past were less stressed, simply because they did not have access to so much negative news? Probably.

They talk about ‘disaster fatigue’, where you get worn down due to ongoing crisis. Maybe that’s because we are so exposed to this stuff all the time. This is why it is so important to have good things in your life. It’s beneficial to focus on positive stuff to offset the bad.

Recently, we had the chance to host a group of amazing Debt Counsellors at a workshop where we looked at their social media, websites, adverts and business practices. It was uplifting to see all the hard work and effort put into helping consumers by this group (and they are just a sample of all the hardworking Debt Counsellors out there). It is so nice to work in an industry focused on helping people, rather than taking advantage of people in distress.

‘If you have a great Debt Counsellor, then be sure to let them know’

If you have a great Debt Counsellor, then be sure to let them know. They can get fatigued too, and your kind words can be a real encouragement.

If you are in debt review, then be sure to check out all the tips and advice in this issue where we do a deep dive into…your fridge. That’s right. Debt review and food. We discuss the relationship between the two.

Hopefully your fridge is not a war zone. Hopefully your bank account is not under attack. Hopefully you are starting to recover from all the bad news fatigue that you had, before you began the process. If so, keep it up. Keep paying and keep heading towards that peaceful destination of being debt free.
