Four Pointers to Improve Your Financial Well-Being
Eating more healthfully. increasing one’s exercise. For good reason, a lot of our resolutions at the start of the year revolve around our physical well-being. Let’s not, however, ignore our financial security. We have almost a whole year ahead of us, so now is a wonderful time to commit to financial goals like improving your budget, setting aside money for retirement, and making future plans.
A recent study by the FINRA Investor Education Foundation found that 60% of Americans experience financial anxiety. We performed an informal survey among Prudential’s Individual Life Insurance business personnel in order to have a more localized understanding of this. Unsurprisingly, only 25% of respondents indicated they were secure about their money going into the new year, and 34% of respondents stated budgeting was the most important thing to concentrate on in order to improve their finances in 2024.
“What does it mean to be financially well?” is a question that is frequently asked. For ourselves, it means having enough money saved for emergencies as well as being able to pay bills and manage regular expenses without worrying about where the money is coming from. It may also indicate that you are making estate and life insurance plans to safeguard your loved ones, that you are preparing for retirement, and that you frequently consult with a financial advisor to be sure you have all the necessary arrangements in place.
The beginning of a new year is the ideal moment to ensure that you have a financial plan that gives you confidence and peace of mind, regardless of where you are in your financial health path. Here are four things to think about:
Focus on each day individually
Organizing and comprehending your daily expenses is essential to obtaining financial wellness. After that, you should make a budget you can stick to. Maintaining a spending log can help you understand where your money is coming from and going to, which will make it simpler to make larger financial decisions like debt repayment or emergency savings.
Establish budgetary objectives
Are you aware of the amount and duration of the retirement funds you have saved? If not, have you considered your strategy and the means of transportation? Retirement is only one example of a financial objective; other examples include preparing for your child’s college education or purchasing a home. Achieving overall financial wellness can be greatly aided by establishing and working toward short- and long-term financial objectives.
Guard against danger
As you look to the future, you can reduce stress by safeguarding yourself and your loved ones against major financial upheavals and disappointments. A financially secure existence can be attributed to having the resources to navigate and manage financial obstacles, such as an unanticipated illness or injury or the premature death of a spouse. These resources can range from life insurance to health insurance to retirement funds.
Make contact with a financial expert
Help is here at your fingertips. A financial expert can provide you with guidance and tactics you might not have thought about. They will assist you in creating a practical financial strategy that can serve as a component of your blueprint for a long and prosperous future.
