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.'
