We strive to remain on track with our physical and mental well-being, but how often do we consider the health of our personal finances? Financial health is a crucial aspect of overall wellness that is often overlooked. While it’s important to prioritize physical and mental health, it’s equally important to take into account your financial situation when planning for the future. Three financial habits to set you up for success Set financial goals. Setting clear and achievable goals is the first step in financial health. Whether you are saving for a major purchase, paying off debt or building a retirement fund, a specific goal helps you stay focused and motivated. Budget responsibly. Creating and sticking to a budget is fundamental to setting yourself up for success. By tracking income and expenses, you can gain a clear understanding of your financial situation and identify areas in need of improvement. Save for emergencies. Regularly setting aside a portion of income for an emergency fund can act as a safety net during challenging times. A separate account helps to prevent you from draining your funds when unexpected expenses occur. Just as we take care of our bodies and minds, we must also nurture our financial goals to ensure a secure future. When you are financially healthy, it enables you to contribute to causes and organizations you are passionate about. Whether it’s contributing to a charity, funding a passion project or helping those in need, having a solid financial foundation empowers us to make a positive impact.

Helping you live life to the fullest As the CEO of GRMC for several decades, I’ve personally experienced our healthcare system multiple times. At the top of my recommendations for maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle is to join the GRMC Wellness Center, complete with top-notch exercise equipment, certified trainers and structured team workouts at the Performance Center. A wide range of members, ages 16 to 90, regularly enjoy yoga, tai chi, aquatic classes, cycling, weight training and the camaraderie of other community members who are similarly motivated to remain active and strong. When the unexpected has happened for me, I rest assured that we have the finest physicians, technicians and healthcare team at the ready. From my own experience and that of my family’s, I can attest that the primary care, cardiology, orthopedic, obstetrics and other specialty care available right here in Seguin is among the best in the nation. We are here for you, and we want to help you and your family enjoy your healthiest life. Elaine Bennett, CEO of GRMF Robert Haynes, CEO of GRMC
