abstract = "This study explored relationships between the practice of following a hand-written or computer-generated budget and the frequency of performance of positive personal health and financial practices. Data were collected from an online quiz completed by 942 adults, providing a simultaneous
assessment of individuals' health and financial practices. Findings of multivariate analyses indicated positive and statistically significant relationships between the practice of using a budget and 18 positive health and financial practices. Specifically, the results suggested that consumers
who reported following a budget more often scored higher in both the health and financial practice indexes. Six implications for family and consumer sciences (FCS) professionals are provided.",
