Financial Well-Being Assessment
Financial Well-Being Assessment
You go to the doctor to check on your physical health — but when is the last time you checked on your financial health?
The Financial Well-Being Assessment can help you conduct a "checkup" on your financial health. No matter where you are in your military career, taking time to assess your financial well-being can provide insights into whether you’re on the right path or have some areas to improve. Answer just 12 simple questions to get your score, then review additional resources organized by topic. All of your answers are anonymous and the assessment does not track any data.
Either once per year or as your financial situation changes, retake the self-assessment to see how your score changes. While fluctuations are completely normal and to be expected, knowledge is power when taking control of your financial well-being.
