Financial
Financial well-being refers to how an individual’s personal resources influence other areas of their life. Achieving well-being in this area involves recognizing the opportunities, limitations, and responsibilities tied to one’s finances and actively planning for the future. Strong financial well-being signified a thorough understanding of one’s financial situation and the ability to adapt to changes effectively. It also includes respecting and understanding the financial circumstances of others while applying learned skills to promote financial awareness, literacy, and security.
How Do You Support Your Financial Wellness?
Questions to ask yourself about financial well-being
- Do I track my spending or keep to a budget each month?
- Do I “pay myself first” by setting money aside for savings whenever I get a paycheck?
- Do I read articles, watch videos, or talk to people I trust to boost my understanding of personal finance?
- Do I used a credit card responsibly and try to live within my means?
