What is Financial Wellness?

Do you ever wonder where all your money seems to disappear to?

Would you be able to come up with $500 to cover an unexpected expense such as a lap top break or auto repair?

Have you ever set a financial goal such as saving for a car or that "place of your own" upon graduation?

Wonder what this secret is to building a life you enjoy and doing those things you love to do?

According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, financial well-being is defined "as a state of being where in you;

  • Have control over day-to-day, month to month finances;

  • Have the capacity to absorb a financial shock;

  • Are on track to meet your financial goals;

  • Have the financial freedom to make the choices that allow you to enjoy life."
