Believe it or not, financial happiness is not determined by how much money you make. If money cannot buy you happiness, what does financial happiness mean?

Financial happiness is not a cookie cutter. There are many forms of travel along the way of achieving financial happiness. Getting out of debt, managing your debt, raising your credit score, donating to a cause, building a savings, and not celebrating pay day as if it were a national holiday. All of these could be examples of a road to financial happiness.

Although financial stresses can cause a significant amount of grief, it is important to stay positive and think about where you want to be in the future. Knowing where you want to go and setting up steps on how to get there is a large leap towards financial happiness avenue.
