What does being "financially healthy" mean to you?

Finances are deeply intimate and personal, so financial health is not a one-size-fits-all concept. To me, being financially healthy means having peace of mind today as well as setting yourself up for lifelong peace. Having bills paid, being debt-free, and preparing for retirement allow you permanent freedom to pursue your goals. Whether your dreams are to start a family or buy the Yves Saint Laurent 5 à 7 bag, financial health means giving yourself the means to achieve them.

What motivates you to be financially healthy?

What really allows me to be financially healthy is discipline. My biggest motivation is looking back and seeing what I have already been able to accomplish through hard work and discipline. I have a clear vision of what I want my life to look like and how I would like to give back to my community, and there’s no bigger motivation than that.

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

I have many financial goals for different timelines, but right now I am most excited about gifting myself a trip to Brazil for my graduation. I have worked extremely hard on my savings as well as on my degree, and I’ve long been looking forward to this trip to celebrate my achievements and have fun.
