What does being "financially healthy" mean to you?

For me, being financially healthy means being in balance with money, physical well-being, and emotional control. I believe that being financially healthy is allowing oneself to be in harmony with financial opportunities, social basic needs, and managing various areas of life correctly. Studying economics and administration, I've learned that humans have unlimited needs but limited resources, and we need to be in harmony with money to achieve a good quality of life and happiness.

What motivates you to be financially healthy?

Living better and with quality motivates me to have a healthy financial life. Understanding what I can achieve when I have good relationships with money is my motivation! Mental health is also important, and money provides me with access to healthcare, education, and quality of life. I believe that all young people can have a good relationship with money, use resources efficiently to achieve their dreams and goals. All of this is my motivation.

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

My main financial goal is to achieve financial independence so that I can fully dedicate myself to studies and projects. With financial independence, I aim to participate in exchange programs and study abroad. Achieving these goals is important to me because it will provide opportunities for learning, new experiences, and a promising career in the future.
