Money de-stress

'Here are more top tips from money coach Simonne Gnessen (www.financial-coaching.co.uk)…

Don't leave bills lying around - file them away and deal with them all in one go.
Wise up to your spending triggers. If you justify a shopping trip because you've had a hard week, find another way to let off steam.
If you leave finances to your partner, stop now. Leaving it to someone else reinforces the belief that you're 'no good' with money.'
