As we celebrate National Wellness Month this August, many of us focus on physical fitness, healthy habits, and mental well-being. But there’s one critical piece of the wellness puzzle that’s often overlooked—financial health.
At Peake Federal Credit Union, we believe true wellness includes feeling confident and in control of your financial life. Just like regular exercise strengthens your body, healthy money habits can relieve stress, support your goals, and build long-term security.
Here’s how we’re supporting our members’ financial wellness—not just in August, but all year round.
What Is Financial Wellness?
Financial wellness means more than just paying your bills. It’s about:
- Managing your money effectively
- Avoiding unmanageable debt
- Saving for emergencies and long-term goals
- Feeling secure and confident about your financial future
When your finances are stable, you gain peace of mind—and that positively impacts your physical and emotional well-being.
