What is financial wellness?
Financial wellness is about feeling in control of your money and confident in your future. It means being able to cover your daily expenses, manage debt, handle unexpected costs and work towards long-term goals – like saving to buy a house or preparing for retirement.
When your finances are in order, money can become a tool for freedom instead of a source of constant stress.
Signs of financial wellness:
- You track your income and expenses
- You’re saving consistently for your goals
- Your debt is under control
- You’re not constantly stressed about money
