Financial health definition and meaning

Financial health is an expression of your entire financial situation. Your finances don't have to be perfect to enjoy good financial health. 

For example, you may not have enough in an emergency savings account (yet!) to cover three to six months' worth of bills, but you’re managing your finances well enough in other areas. You could be financially healthy even if you haven’t hit all your targets
