Financial Wellness: What is Financial Wellness?

Welcome to Napa Valley College's Financial Wellness Libuguide. In this guide, we hope to introduce students to the many ways they can actively participate in creating healthy financial decisions while at Napa Valley College and also prepare them for managing their finances when they leave our campus and enter into the work force.

How do you know if you can benefit from this guide? Ask yourself the following:

• Do I often worry if I can pay for school?
• Do I have often feel that I live check to check?
• Am I capable of ever having a savings account?
• I feel I can't save for an emergency?

These are questions that not only students feel, but people in general have high anxiety over these issues. We at Napa Valley College would like to help answer these questions and set our students on a healthy path towards what we like to call "Financial Wellness."

Curious yet? If so, this guide has a number of resources and videos to help guide you on how to address your immediate financial means as students.
