If the very idea of financial planning makes you break out in hives, you’re not alone. A new study found that perceived financial well-being — feeling secure about not only the state of your current situation but how well you’ve planned for the future — holds the key to your overall well-being. Your financial security can affect you as strongly as job satisfaction, relationship stability, and physical health combined.

Jill Schlesinger, Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards ambassador, calls money the “most concrete expression of every neurosis we carry.” She said: “Every neurosis we have, we can express it around money. Someone dealing with your finances can really be transformative — it’s like removing an anvil from your back.”
