Thanks Jen for your support.
I have read many of your own posts and appreciate your story too.
Surrendering financial control is actually simpler than we believe it is.
My finances are complex. Mutiple out goings. Debt management plans. I made this the reason for not surrendering contro in the pastl. But that is another falsehood.
If I can manage my finances, then why can’t someone else? Especially if they are more prudent than me.
So you need some one you can fully trust and depend on – a close loved one.
For me, it’s my wife and parents – I am lucky to have them.
Let them manage your finances, hold all cards and passswords – and provide you with the daily allowance you need. It has to be this way for me.
Also, I think a big part of it, for me anyway, is surendring the false pride and ego – I had to accept my shortcomings. And I have and am ok with it. Doing this can help me to focus on rebuilding the good things.
Good luck – and I will pray for you too
