Healthy Money Habits
Financial health is part of your overall health
Healthy Money Habits is a free program available to Hope Springs residents. We work to help them stabilize their finances to improve their overall health and well-being. Healthy Money Habits is currently only available to Hope Springs residents.
How do finances affect health?
When we don't have enough money, it can stress us out. This stress can make our bodies weak and more likely to get sick. It can make us feel worried and sad, and keep us from sleeping well. It can lead to headaches, heart problems, gaining too much weight, and stomach problems. When money is tight, we might not be able to get good food and a safe place to live, which can make our health even worse.
At HOPES, we want to help you become financially healthy. We support you with education and coaching. We work together to set goals you can reach, make smart choices with your money, and find things that can make your money go further. Our aim is to help you feel secure with your money and your future.
Q: How do I know if I have any unpaid debts?
A: If you request a copy of your credit report you can see a detailed history of any unpaid or missed payments on the accounts you have open. You can request a copy of this report once a week from the 3 credit bureaus for free until the end of this month. You can also directly contact the companies where you normally make purchases and request a mailed statement. However, the credit report is more likely to give you better detailed activity and may even show you a record of open accounts that you weren’t aware of.
