to manage, track and allocate your spending
based on your needs.
Establishing a budget can be daunting, but
it doesn’t have to be. There are plenty of
tools that can simplify the process. Rated as
one of the top budgeting apps of 2021, the
Personal Capital app is an excellent resource
for tracking your finances. Link everything
from your checking, savings, investment,
loan and retirement accounts to see your cash
flow and financial picture all in one place.
This type of free app can also help you
figure out your net worth - what you have
minus what you owe. While more than half
of surveyed Americans say their net worth
is a critical component of their financial
health, fewer can estimate theirs. “If you
can’t measure it, it’s very difficult to gauge
where you’re going,” Ohno said.
In an emergency, your financial safety net
can determine your preparedness. Whether
you endure job loss, car trouble or a medical
emergency, your safety net can give you
extra financial cushion when the unexpected
happens. If you don’t have one already,
there’s no need to panic. You can build your
emergency fund through automatic deposits
to your savings account and by cutting out
unnecessary expenses. If you can, save 3 to
6 months’ worth of expenses.
Eliminating your bad debt can take time but
isn’t impossible. Financial advisors generally
recommend paying off debt with the highest
interest rate first. Then, as you work your
way down, you’ll pay less and less as your
balance goes down.
“Whether you’re an athlete or not, it’s
important to understand how your financial
health relates to your overall health,” Ohno
said. “Talking about and dealing with money
doesn’t have to be taboo. When you’re aware
of your financial wellness, you can face life’s
ups and downs with confidence.”
