Why is Purchasing Power enhancing its focus on financial wellness?
While macro-economic trends may ebb and flow, the reality is that there consistently remains an overlooked sliver of Financial Health that needs to be recognized: the ability to purchase the things you need, when you need them. This represents a human challenge and can affect anyone, at any point, because life doesn’t fit neatly into a salary band.
But it’s not simply about being able to purchase goods and services. It’s also about ensuring you have access to the right resources when life happens, and also ensuring that you have the right long-term path toward financial empowerment.
