Building good, healthy habits is important in all areas of life. Physically healthy people eat the right foods, get regular exercise, and drink lots of water. Mentally healthy people read books, solve puzzles, and find ways to challenge their brain. Emotionally healthy people spend time with friends and loved ones, talk about their problems, and know how to laugh.
But what about your financial health? Are you quite up to snuff? Note; being financially healthy and having good habits does NOT mean you have to be rich– it means you can successfully manage your money with what income you have. Read this post by Allison Lindstrom at Frugal On The Prairies for financial habits you need to start doing today:
-Having a budget and sticking to it
-Never spending more than you have
-Paying all your bills on time
-Saving money each month, saving for retirement
-Communicating with your partner about finances
-Working to pay off debt
-Having an emergency fund for car problems, hospital visits, or home repairs. You never know what could happen!
