Ignore the misconceptions, working on your financial health doesn't have to be expensive, difficult or time-consuming. That's literally what financial fitness is all about - doing something, whatever feels right, for your financial health on a regular basis. Don't be afraid, they are definitely ways to improve your financial health without breaking the bank.  

Think of financial fitness as a daily routine to build up your knowledge. When you practice financial fitness you're being proactive so that when life throws you curveballs as it so often does, you're able to make informed decisions.

These steps are not a substitute for professional financial advice bur rather, small actions you can work into to you day to improve your financial wellbeing over time.

Improve your financial health anywhere, anytime with these three easy steps:

1. Start by listening to a financial podcast.

A great way to start the day. You can listen to podcasts while doing almost anything else. A very simple way to learn something new everyday. To help get you started we have put together a list of our top picks.

2. Next up, check your financial situation.

Take a peak at your banking or budgeting apps. Just a quick check to see how things are looking and to ensure no surprises happened overnight. If you need a budgeting app - we highly recommend Vault22 (formerly 22seven). It's a great way to see a snapshot of your finances. We often check this while listening to a podcast - it's always a good idea to group similar tasks together.

3. Finally, read some financial content.

Whether it's a newsletter or an article - anything as long as it concerns something financial. It doesn't have to be a lot, just a little exposure each day. A good way to do this is to sign up for daily/weekly newsletters so you don't have to look further than your inbox. Also, try following some financial news companies on LinkedIn like Moneyweb - just refresh your feed for the latest info.
