Get your finances in order. Here's at least 3 things you can do about your money:

1. Review your spending - for most people, their income is fixed week to week or pay to pay so the only thing you have to control is what you spend your money on.

2. Set up a budget (if you don't have one)- managing your money tightly is not a bad thing and no ones cares except you - it's your money.
