Finances can be a major source of stress, and while everyone's financial values and circumstances are unique, maintaining financial wellness is key to a healthy life. Being financially well means that we are able to meet our basic needs and manage our money for both our short- and long-term goals. We manage our financial wellness by living within our means, making informed decisions and investments, setting realistic goals, and preparing for emergencies.

Ways to develop financial wellness:
  • Find an app to set and commit to a budget
  • Have an emergency fund that works within your means
  • Start paying off debts in small bites before graduating
  • Talk with a financial advisor to plan for the future
