Financial stress is a major cause of anxiety and other health issues for most people. Empowering a person’s ability to manage their current finances, feel secure about their financial future, and make choices that allow them to enjoy life can in turn, lead to greater stability and reduced stress. Financial wellness is a comprehensive state of being where you have control over your day-to-day finances, the ability to absorb a financial shock, and are on track to meet your long-term financial goals. It’s a personal and holistic approach that reduces financial stress and enhances your overall well-being.
