Financial Wellbeing

by | Jun 7, 2017 | Campus, Do, Know, Learn

We can all use a little help understanding and managing finances.

Financial wellness is a “state” of wealth for individuals or families, irrespective of income levels. It includes your objective state of wealth, your behaviours as they relate to your state of wealth, your subjective perception of your state of wealth and your satisfaction with your state of wealth.
