Happy 2025, everyone!
You may already know this, but January has been designated as financial wellness month.
The notion is presently perplexing to me since financial wellness pertains to how well anyone manages their money. I manage the money that I have, but seldom have extra money to put into savings or in an emergency fund. We may understand our need to only spend the money we have, but even that can pose challenges. Are you with me?
When considering housing we must include safe housing. These issues may involve holding large mortgages or loans. Other financial stresses include the decision to own or lease cars to get to work or for errands. I will also just mention the availability of healthy foods which generally cost more. You know the drill! A solution for some is to hold two or three jobs, but that will affect your generalized wellness. Hopefully you, readers, may offer insight from experience as to how you attain your financial wellness and may help me with mine.
