FAQs About Financial Wellness

1. What is Financial Wellness? Financial Wellness, just like any other wellness, is the feeling of well being regarding one's finances.

2. What are Financial Wellness classes? Financial Wellness classes are based on the FDIC's Money Smart curriculum. This 11 week course (which is FREE to consumers and agencies that would like to have us teach) is designed to teach people about the basics of banking, credit, fixing credit, getting a home loan, and so on.
