Weekly Challenge #3: Financial Health

Finances are an integral part of all of our lives.  They propel our families forward in terms of food, clothing, and shelter.  We find money to be a blessing for us when recreating, seeking entertainment, creating a desired lifestyle, or planning for our future well-being.

But Finances can also add a whole bunch of stress!

This week's challenge is this (keeping in mind that your personal finances are just that-- YOURS.  We will not ask for any information or details regarding this area).

 Complete a 5 minute Financial Task each day.
***This does not include checking the balance on accounts.***  We want you to go beyond that.  Here are some ideas to get your brains rolling:
-Talk with spouse about financial goals

-Manage, or edit stocks or mutual funds
-Set a goal for reducing a debt, including your plan to achieve that goal
-Set a goal for Savings, including your plan to achieve that goal
