Why is financial wellbeing important?
Having enough money to meet your needs now and in the future is what financial wellbeing is all about.
It's important because what you buy, how much you spend and whether you can save impacts your quality of life day-to-day.
Being on top of your finances gives you the power to break free from debt, treat yourself to something special and look forward to a future where your savings offer a protective umbrella on rainy days.
What is good financial wellbeing?
Financial wellbeing is about checking your spending habits, budgeting in a way you can stick to and paying off debts in bite-sized chunks (or rolling them into one).
If you can save a bit of money each paycheck (including some for emergencies), add to your super and invest wisely, then you're on the right track.
Follow these six simple steps to get started:
1. Get your score to see what you should work on
2. Track your expenses and build a budget
3. Make a plan to tackle your debt
4. Set a savings goal to bring your dreams to life

Where does financial wellbeing come from?
Since 2003, ANZ has carried out research to help Australians understand their financial literacy and transform attitudes and behaviours towards managing money.
Our financial wellbeing initiative is informed by the results of this research, as well as that of domestic and international industry thought leaders, including Professor Elaine Kempson from the Personal Finance Research Centre (PFRC) at the University of Bristol.
