I once shared this exact stress... I'm not really a "numbers/finances" guy. But I found a solution that has worked wonders for me, and I think it could work just as well for everybody.
I married a CPA. Best decision I ever made in my life. You think a woman can't get any sexier, and then she says something like "well, taxes are getting close... I guess I'll get those out of the way this morning." That'll turn a man on, right there.
