Becoming Financially Healthy

Being young, new to the military, newly wed, or beginning a family increases the chances of overestimating an income, underestimating debt, or not being able to mount any type of savings plan.

Financial health is an important aspect of each of our lives. It affects our relationships with friends and family, prospects of getting promotions, job offers, and frankly, the ability to enjoy life. Extreme financial duress can also
affect our physical health.

This magazine is intended to shed light on some of the key aspects of financial health. Like physical health, financial health comes from being better informed, knowing your strengths and weaknesses, and turning to professional help when you need it.

Whether you are reviewing your overall financial plan, considering how much insurance you need for you and your family, investing for the future, making a major purchase (like a new car), keeping your finances secure, or figuring how to get out of debt, we think this issue may give you some ideas about what to do next.
