Research has consistently confirmed the strong, direct impact of financial well-being on physical and mental health. Financial stressors such as high debt, reduction or loss of income, and unplanned expenses often lead to poor physical and mental health outcomes. Conversely, people with greater financial security tend to have better access to quality healthcare and less stress, leading to better physical and mental health outcomes.
