What Does Financial Well-Being Mean?
Financial well-being is an aspect of employee wellness that is often overlooked. But it’s essential that you feel healthy financially, just as you should feel healthy physically and emotionally.
It can include:
- Minimal feelings of financial stress
- A strong financial foundation (little or no debt, emergency savings and living below your means)
- A plan to follow to achieve future financial goals
Financial well-being can mean being worried less, which means less stress and more energy in your life. Less stress can mean fewer illnesses, increased productivity, higher feelings of satisfaction and self-worth, and feeling more engaged in your work and life.
Makes cents, er, sense, right?
Financial well-being, physical and mental well-being all work hand-in-hand. Achieving balance in all three can mean a more rewarding, healthier and happier life.
Focusing on healthy financial habits and behaviors leads to better decision-making, and the results can yield true rewards in your life. Invest in yourself by enjoying the benefits offered in our well-being financial health resources.
Being fiscally fit means having peace of mind that you are in charge of your finances. It means that you can enjoy life without the additional stress of money because you have a plan and are managing the situation (instead of it managing you).
