The 5 Pillars of Wellbeing

Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing And Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, expert hosts Grant Gallagher and Shawn Lubitz are joined by Mara Hoogerhuis, an expert in learning, leadership and change at Gallup, and the group discusses the five pillars of wellbeing.

The team kicks off the episode by defining wellbeing, and what it means for them. Then, Maura provides an overview of the five different pillars of wellbeing and how Gallup defines them. Additionally, the team shares insight on how the five pillars are connected, and how they affect an individual’s overall health and happiness.

Some additional topics included:

• Determining what aspects of wellbeing you should prioritize
• Insights into trends in financial wellbeing and banking
• An overview of the economy and how it can impact your overall wellbeing

Following the main discussion, Shawn pulled a question from the member mailbag: When I was in my 20’s, I made some bad financial decisions and ended up with a lot of credit card debt. Now that I am in my 30’s, my financial situation is better than it was, but I am still paying the price with my low credit score. Do you have any tips for raising or repairing your credit? I would like to buy a house within the next 2-3 years.

Finally, Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s award-winning SmartStart Savings account! Whether you’re saving for a down payment, dream vacation, or rainy day, Affinity is here to help you earn more toward your financial goals with their high-yield SmartStart Savings account.
