Financial Dignity
Financial Dignity is the controlled use of all the money that you accrue to achieve a lifestyle that is of maximum value to you. The typical signs of having attained Financial Dignity are said to be; having manageable mortgage debt, no consumer debt, being able to invest at least 10% of all your income so you have the means to support a fulfilling lifestyle for the rest of your life and spending the rest of your money on a lifestyle that is of value to you.
Financial Dignity is centred on the values of human dignity which encourage one to treat oneself and ones assets, especially money and those of others with dignity, in order to lead a happy fulfilling life.
