Improving Health & Wellbeing Through Managing Finances – An Interview with Brett Harmeling
When we think of health, it’s easy to think of our physical bodies. Eating right, exercising, and getting proper medical care are all aspects of health. But mental health & wellbeing is another important aspect. Stress can lead to numerous health issues, and it’s as important to take care of our mind as it is our bodies.
A 2018 study found that money was the number 1 stressor among Americans, according to 44% of respondents. With that in mind, we sat down to talk with Brett Harmeling, a financial strategist who specializes in helping clients achieve the peace of mind that comes from knowing your finances are well cared for.
1. Tell us a little about you. What you’re doing and how you got here doing it.
My background is in technology consulting and real estate. After navigating through several career transitions, I decided to take my experience and work in the space of Financial Planning. I have curated a team that educates and empowers people to find financial balance by bringing awareness to their money situation using a dynamic and interactive balance sheet approach.
2. If you could set the public straight on one financial myth what would it be?
That what you are not aware of, you cannot control/change. Without a wholistic perspective you cannot possibly make sound financial decisions because there is no priority, organization, or strategy involved.
