Financial Health and Physical Health
Why do we need to take care of our financial health? To achieve financial freedom. Why do we need to take care of our physical health? To help us live a long life and enjoy the years we’re alive.

Great series of articles. Too many people only focus on either their health or their finances and not both. I have always had a handle on my finances, but had let my health go. Too many people dont even look at their finances beyond whether or not they can pay the bills.
In a way, one’s physical health is connected to one’s financial health. For me personally, if I were in financial straits, all the worrying, stress and loss of sleep would ultimately have an impact on my overall wellbeing. I’m sure this applies to others as well.
