Managing finances

There may be times in life when you're worried about your finances. Here's some information about how financial worries can impact your wellbeing - as well as some resources and self-management tools you might find helpful.

Resources and tools

We regularly produce great resources to support our NZDF community's financial wellbeing. Here are a few of our favourites.
