Are You Living to Work or Working to Live?

Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing and Your Wallet podcast! In the third episode, expert hosts Jacqui Kearns, Shawn Lubitz and Grant Gallagher analyze financial wellbeing in your career, and if you are living to work or working to live. 

The team begins their discussion, asking the question: Are higher prices affecting you, your family, those around you? They address best practices for recognizing higher prices and strategies for handling increased costs.

Jacqui and the team dive into the main discussion around working to live, or living to work, and how work can impact overall wellbeing and financial wellbeing. Shawn and Grant share insight on the importance of having passion in your career and how that impacts your overall wellbeing.

Some additional topics covered include:

• Side hustles and their effect on your overall financial wellbeing
• How to identify a skill that can be turned into a side hustle?
• When is the right time to monetize a passion?

Following the main discussion, Grant walks through the Member Mailbag when the team answers the member-submitted question: My wife and I recently joined Affinity and want to make sure we are taking advantage of all the benefits of membership. We currently have shared checking, savings, and a mortgage. Is there anything else we should be considering? The team provides a brief overview of the products Affinity offers, and the importance of a financial wellbeing check up to ensure you are taking advantage of all the member benefits.

To wrap up this week’s episode, Grant highlights Affinity’s Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), which gives you the key to getting more out of your home!
