Welcome to FinHealth Fridays!
Every Friday, we will share a carefully curated collection of what we’re reading as we head into the weekend.

As Week 1 of Financial Literacy Month is coming to a close, it’s important to remember that budgeting isn’t just about the numbers – it’s about the behaviors that support the actions behind the numbers.
