8 tangible financial wellness solutions for today’s indebted Americans

Today, the average American’s personal debt is $21,800. Sound familiar? 

Whether you have debt now or you’ve had debt in the past, most Americans have experienced some kind of debt in their lifetime, and it isn’t fun. 

Now, imagine having debt and then imagine some unexpected expense has charged its way into your life wreaking havoc and causing more chaos. What would you do?

Contrary to what might be your first inclination, you should be able to go to your employee benefits portal and get financial help. How many employers are offering this today though? Not as many as you’d think…

 

Let’s talk more about money

Did your parents used to talk to you about money? 

Many kept their money habits and/or struggles to themselves. It was deemed a faux-pas. Now, more people than ever are talking about money

Even workplaces have become more transparent about how much money individuals are making. Releasing this money stigma actually has benefits as it gets people more involved in finance at a young age to learn good savings and spending habits.

The median savings balance — not including retirement funds — of Americans under 35 is just $3,240, while it’s $6,400 for those ages 55-64. Depending on where in the US you live, that could be one month’s worth of living expenses or could be three months… It’s not enough.

That’s why so many organizations are now prioritizing financial wellness and financial education. 

And, that’s why financial wellness is so important to us at TrueConnect.
