Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing and Your Wallet podcast! In the tenth episode we will be republishing episode 6, "How to Make Financial Literacy Fun and Easy". In light of April being National Financial Literacy Month.
Grant begins with updating us on the launch of Wellbeing and Your Wallet Index findings. Including word from our sponsor Affinity’s Smartstart Savings.
The team then begins their discussion by sharing their personal financial stress assessment results. They share insight on how to understand your own pain points when it comes to financial stress. The team also emphasizes the importance of taking the opportunity to give yourself credit for your financial wins.
Jacqui and the team then dive into the main discussion around financial stress in this current economy. The team highlights Enrich, which is an online personal finance tool to help you learn about money management, personal credit, insurance, and retirement through online modules.
Some additional topics covered include:
- Ways to balance, manage, and work through financial stress
- Budgeting, and prioritizing keeping your finances up to date
Following the main discussion, Grant pulls a question from the Member Mailbag and the team answers the member-submitted question: I follow so many influencers that offer different savings and investing advice and all partner with different platforms and partners. How do I cut out the noise and focus on what’s best for my financial situation and needs? In response, the team discusses the importance of properly vetting and diversifying the content you consume, and really understanding the value and depth of that content.
To wrap up this week’s episode, Grant highlights Affinity’s Smartstart Savings, an account that makes it easy to grow your savings with a very competitive rate and no minimum balance requirement!
