Financial Confidence Self-Assessment

Answer each question honestly. Your responses will help you better understand where you are today — and where you can go from here.
1. I feel anxious when opening bills, and I often have bills scattered around my home, car, or email inbox.
2. I have received calls, texts, or letters from debt collectors within the past month.
3. I usually carry a credit card balance because I cannot pay it off in full each month.
4. I live paycheck to paycheck with little to no savings buffer.
5. If I lost my primary source of income, I would not be able to cover my basic expenses for three months.
6. I feel like everyone around me has their finances together, and I constantly feel like I’m falling behind.
7. I avoid signing up for my employer’s retirement plan (401k) or opening an IRA because it feels overwhelming and complicated.
8. I understand the concepts of dollar cost averaging and diversification.
9. I often invest in the "next big thing" hoping to make fast money.
10. I actively work on improving my professional skills and update my resume regularly.
