Financial Planning is the process of taking hold of your finances by managing your income, expenses, savings and investments to achieve financial security. This includes setting short and long term goals. It involves creating a budget which will serve as a strategic roadmap to assist you in being financially free. 

Financial abuse is a form of coercive control where an individual such as an intimate partner attempts to control and manipulate their partner's financial resources to gain and maintain power over them. This behavior often occurs in abusive relationships and can leave a victim financially dependent on their abuser.
