Enhance Your Financial Well-Being to Alleviate Stress and Thrive


Financial wellbeing, or the lack of it, can significantly impact our overall wellbeing. Why? Financial stress can adversely affect our emotional and physical health as well as our relationships and productivity. In contrast, having a sense of financial wellbeing can alleviate stress, making it easier to thrive in other areas of our lives.

In this webinar led by a UVA faculty member from the McIntire School of Commerce, you will learn the basics of financial wellbeing—what it is, why it matters, and how you can make it part of your life. 

Learning objectives

  1. Identify and explain the four components of financial wellbeing
  2. Identify and explain opportunity costs
  3. Understand the impact of time and compounding on their finances
  4. Use a decision-making model to improve their financial decisions.
