Understanding Money Anxiety in Young Adults From Scarcity to Sufficiency

On this episode of Elevate Your Mindset with Tameka Brewington, mental health therapist Tameka Brewington tackles a challenge many young adults face during major life transitions — money anxiety.

Money anxiety isn’t just about the size of your bank account. It’s the persistent worry, guilt, and stress around finances — whether you’re flush with cash or barely making ends meet. For young adults moving from college into the “real world,” the pressure can spike with rent, bills, student loans, an unpredictable job market, and the comparisons fueled by social media.

Tameka breaks down:

Why money anxiety happens — from family money messages to lack of financial literacy.

How it impacts mental, emotional, and physical health — from sleepless nights to strained relationships.

What you can do about it — practical strategies to shift from a scarcity mindset to one of sufficiency.

You’ll learn tools to:

Detach your self-worth from your net worth.

Redefine success on your own terms.

Set small, achievable savings goals.

Track your spending with intention.

Practice mindfulness before making financial decisions.

Recognize and cope with your unique money triggers.

Tamika reminds us that acknowledging your money anxiety is the first step toward changing your relationship with money. This conversation will leave you feeling empowered, equipped, and ready to take control of your financial mindset.
