Financial hardship can happen to anyone. It doesn’t matter which walk of life you come from. It can happen to individuals, small businesses, big corporations, even entire nations.

Why does financial hardship occur? There are many reasons. Financial hardship can be caused by an unexpected bill, poor financial decisions, mismanagement or life changes, such as a death, birth or separation. Some people gamble, some party too much, others like cars or clothes. The “it looks fantastic, let’s put it on plastic” attitude of today means that credit card debt is at epidemic proportions in Australia. Astronomical interest charges are being accrued by the minute.

Most people receive no formal training in money management. Handling money is a basic fact of life, yet we rarely learn about it at school. Most people are left to learn about finance from their parents or they teach themselves through experience. Unfortunately, experience can be a hard teacher. It’s easy to learn bad habits and make poor decisions when you’ve received no proper guidance.

One of the most important things to realise about financial hardship is that taking out a loan is rarely the answer to the problem. The best solution depends on your circumstances, but it generally makes little sense to get further into debt when you’re trying to get out of debt.

Being in debt is a very stressful experience. Debt causes tension in families and puts pressure on relationships. Juggling bills, going without, missing payments and handling demands from creditors—it’s generally a spiral of anxiety that worsens over time.
