Assessment feature on Bethniel Finance

Assessing your financial health has a critical role to play in your journey towards making better financial decisions. People don’t realize that making better financial decisions and building wealth has everything to do with first assessing where you stand financially. It is the people who are able to grasp the relevance of financial health and apply insights from the learnings that go on to make better financial decisions & build wealth.

What Then Is Financial Health?

Financial health simply has to do with the state of your finance, whether good or bad. You can say a good financial health is one where you have control of your personal finances with a good balance of savings, investments, and insurance. On the other hand, having a bad financial health simply means everything about your personal finance is just not working; poor expense management, increasing debts, no savings or investments as well as no proper insurance cover for the unforeseen circumstances of life.

Now, it is critical to understand that your financial health largely depends on your level of financial literacy. Anyone that ever did well financially, first had some level of financial education. Moreover, a good financial health has a lot to do with you assessing yourself to know where you stand and what steps you need to take to get to the next level. Assessing yourself financially means knowing your level of financial literacy, investment risk level, credit profile, retirement readiness, just to name a few. A good understanding of these principles will position you to take the necessary steps towards building a good financial health.
