Financial Issues

Feel paralyzed by economic uncertainty?

Burned out on Retail Therapy?

Tired of stressing over money?

Sick of arguing about bills?

Fed up with defining yourself by what you do or do not have?

Wonder if “more” may not be the solution?

Ready for financial peace?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone.

According to a 2008 survey by the American Psychological Association, 81% of people say that money is their #1 stressor. Financial stress can lead to depression, anxiety, health issues, decreased functioning, and a poor sense of self-worth. It is also one of the leading causes of marital conflict.

Financial health goes beyond one’s knowledge and planning for current and future needs. Financial health is measured by an ability to make financial choices that are consistent with one’s values and by the ability to use money as a tool to help fulfill one’s life purposes – not as an end in itself. In other words, it is determined by one’s relationship with money.
