Access Weakth Nation - Andrea D. Jenkins (season Premier) Dr. Jana talks about Domestic Violence with Andrea D. Jenkins

Impulse spending can be a major budget-buster.

It's not just about resisting the temptation to buy things you don't need – it's about being purposeful with your money.

Impulse buying often happens when we're emotional – boredom, sadness, or even hunger can lead us to make purchases that we later regret.

If you want to start shopping with purpose, learning how money really works can increase how fast you take control of your spending habits.

Americans are paying a deep price for not knowing how money works.

Too many people are living paycheck to paycheck, racking up debt, and struggling to make ends meet.

The problem is that most people never learn the basics of personal finance. They don't know how to save, how to invest, or how to manage their money.

As a result, they're unnecessarily struggling—and often failing—to achieve financial security. But it doesn't have to be this way.

By providing Americans with the proper tools and knowledge they need to make sound financial decisions, WealthWave is teaching families how to save and invest in their future.

And while it’s true that money problems can cause people a lot of stress, did you know that financial instability can also lead to health problems?

Here’s an alarming statistic: Negative wealth shocks (losing 75% of your wealth or more) increase mortality risk over 20 years by 50%.¹

The impact of money stress grows more pronounced with age. A Yale study tracked older people recovering from heart attacks. They discovered that heart attack survivors with financial problems were 60% more likely to die within 6 months of leaving the hospital.²

Researchers don’t yet understand the causal relationship between finances and mortality, but here are a few educated guesses…

Losing money is stressful. And long-term stress can cause premature death.³

Losing money reduces access to medical care. Quality care slips out of financial reach. Even little things like transportation to appointments can become unaffordable.

Losing money can cause a low-quality diet. A combination of stress and living in low-income areas can make low value food far more convenient and appealing.

The takeaway? Money problems have a big potential to take a toll on your health. That’s why financial stability should be a top priority for everyone. If you’re struggling to make ends meet, don’t despair. There are steps you can take to get your finances in order. And when you do, you could be on your way to better health, too!

Do you have a clear path of where you and your family are heading?

The financial industry is notorious for being one of the most confusing industries.

It's not just about picking stocks and bonds; there are so many considerations it can be hard to know where to start or what you should do next.

But, it's essential to know not only where you want to go, but also how you'll get there. For that latter part, you'll need a strategy and a plan.

That's why sitting down and creating a family financial plan is so crucial. Having a trusted financial professional guide you through that process makes it a lot easier.

What's your next step?

When people save money, they're often thinking more about keeping that hard-earned money safe, rather than how to put it to work.

After you deposit your money into your savings or checking account, what does the bank do with it?

Well, your money earns you 0.06%*. But they use YOUR money to earn 4-6%*.

What a deal...for them.

Getting the highest interest rate possible can make all the difference in the world.
