This study explored relationships between health-related practices and performance of 10 positive personal finance practices. Data came from a 20-question online quiz that provides a simultaneous assessment of individuals' health and financial practices. The sample included 8,128 persons who completed the survey instrument from July 2015 through June 2017. All three hypotheses were supported. Specifically, three independent variables (diet index, sleep, and physical activity) showed significant positive associations with an index comprised of 10 positive financial behaviors. Results suggest that diet behavior may be more closely associated with financial behavior than the other two health behaviors.
