WORCESTER, Mass.- Lauren Piehl, Baystate Savings Bank, stops by the Talk of the Commonwealth to discuss financial empowerment. Financial wellness can be just as essential as physical health. Lauren says, “If we are sick or something’s wrong with us, what do we do? We typically go to the doctor or seek help in different situations. We don’t just try to handle things all on our own all the time.” Procrastination and stress around money can negatively impact one’s overall well-being. Lauren tells us that 72% of Americans do not have $1,000 in savings. She emphasized the need for people to take proactive steps to improve their financial situation, such as creating a budget, saving consistently, and seeking help from financial experts. “If you don’t know how to start saving or you don’t know where to start, you come see us and we will help you” www.baystatesavingsbank.com
