What does being "financially healthy" mean to you?

Being 'financially healthy' means to be able to maintain sustainable and positive financial growth independent from external factors or events. In the face of crises or unexpected outcomes, being 'financially healthy' allows for one to successfully manage non-fixed expenditures and to maintain monetary flexibility. 'Financial health' ultimately allows for personal financial freedom and a positive relationship with one's hard-earned money.

What motivates you to be financially healthy?

My motivations towards improved financial health align with the same desires and needs of a majority of people nationwide. Whether it be eventual retirement, financial freedom, or adequate monetary management, being 'financially healthy' allows for me to pursue my personal ventures and to maintain a sustainable lifestyle amidst the ongoing chaos of adult life. Being financially healthy would ultimately allow for me to balance the state of my finances and to ultimately better my overall health as well.

What is one of your main financial goals right now, and why?

As a 25-year old, the primary goal for me right now is to get a firm grasp of all the financial decisions and statuses at the moment. That means managing my current debts, balances, payments, and expenditures while also creating a platform for me to financially grow through investments, savings, and independent pursuits. I ultimately want to be in a position in which I can settle down without being stressed at my ongoing/current personal financial position.
