"A financial cushion reduces stress by 21%": How Ukrainians are rebuilding their budgets during the war

The war has changed not only our priorities, but also our attitude towards money.

How have the financial habits of Ukrainians changed, what have we started saving more on, and what helps maintain stability during a protracted crisis, in a conversation with LIGA.net, explains financial consultant and co-founder of the "Pump Up Finances" Academy, Halyna Trityak.
