Personal finance is the process of managing your money so it works for you, not against you. Instead of always reacting to problems or running out of money, you’re making a plan and staying ahead. That’s what it means for your money to work for you: it’s fueling your life, not creating stress.

When those three things are aligned, you are better equipped to make smart decisions, avoid unnecessary debt, and stop wondering if you’re “doing it right.”
