A Reddit user recently asked for advice on ways to stop thinking about money nonstop.
It’s hard, the user explained, to avoid fixating on personal finances. Comparing yourself to others can be tempting, even though doing so doesn’t feel good or productive.
Other users jumped in to offer tips, such as talking to a therapist, finding a new hobby, scaling back on social media and saving enough for a sufficient safety net.
Financial experts say focusing on your own financial plan is the best way to avoid thinking too much about what other people might be doing.
