Budgeting

Another year has come and gone, and I must confess -- turns out I'm only human too. Last year brought some big expenses and, if I'm honest, a little overspending on my part.

Debt can happen to any of us. Sometimes we make choices that overstretch our budget or develop spending habits that challenge self-control. Sometimes unexpected life events require funds we simply do not have. Whether debt is of your own making or a result of unfortunate occurrences, there are ways to tackle the burden.

According to U.S. News & World Report, the majority of Americans do not have enough savings to cover three months of living expenses, leaving them vulnerable to a financial emergency. The unexpected loss of a job, a trip to the emergency room, car or home repairs, or costly veterinarian bills can wreck even the most carefully planned budget - which is why having an emergency fund is crucial to financial stability.

Post holidays and tax season can be a good time for financial reflection, an opportunity to check in with your credit score - that three-digit number that has powerful implications on your financial wellbeing - especially if you're in the market for a big purchase or even a new job.

In collaboration with our partners at GreenPath, Greylock has a wealth of digestible information to help you refresh your financial well-being, just in time for the new year.

According to a recent WalletHub survey, nearly 3 in 4 people say their financial situation impacts their mental well-being, and 69% of Americans feel insecure about their finances.

The holidays should bring joy. However, when every trip to the grocery store or gas station feels more expensive than the last, the season can also bring a heavy dose of stress.
