Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing And Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, expert hosts Shawn Lubitz and Grant Gallagher are joined by Anthony Russomano, a Certified Health Coach and owner of Russomano Training. Anthony joins the show to discuss the importance of physical wellbeing.

Grant, Shawn, and Anthony kick-off the episode by defining what physical wellbeing is, and how it impacts your overall health and happiness. They then break down how investing in physical wellbeing can lead to long-term financial savings and how to make informed dietary choices without breaking the bank.

Some additional topics included:

Alternative ways to enjoy exercising if you are unable to go to the gym
The connection between sleep and financial stability
The importance of goal setting for physical wellbeing

Following the main discussion, Shawn pulled a submitted question from the member mailbag, and the team shared their responses: I've been struggling to balance my physical wellbeing with my financial responsibilities lately, and I'm feeling overwhelmed. As a single parent working multiple jobs to make ends meet, I find it challenging to prioritize exercise and healthy eating on a budget. Do you have any tips for fitting physical activity and nutritious meals into a tight budget and busy schedule? I want to prioritize my health, but it feels like there's never enough time or money to do so effectively.

Finally, Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s tools and financial wellbeing resources, including blogs, educational events & webinars, credit counseling tools, and more.
