When Money Is Tight, Why Is Your Health the First Thing to Go?
We’ve all said it—or at least thought it:
“Money is tight right now. I need to cut back.”
But here’s the real question:
Why is your fitness membership the first thing on the chopping block—before Netflix, takeout, or that weekend Target run?
At Hitsona Fort Wayne, we hear it all the time.
People tell us they want to feel better.
They need to lose weight.
They’re tired of feeling tired.
But when finances feel squeezed, the easiest excuse becomes:
“I’ll come back when things settle down.”
Let’s talk honestly about this.
💵 Cutting the Wrong Costs
When money is tight, it makes sense to reassess your spending. That’s smart.
But ask yourself:
Did you cancel your Amazon Prime subscription?
Did you stop ordering $14 DoorDash meals?
Did you cut back on drinks, dinners out, or mindless shopping?
Or did you just drop the one thing that actually improves your physical and mental health?
The truth is, your health isn’t expensive—it’s an investment.
You don’t see the cost of not taking care of your body until it’s too late.
And by then, you’re spending way more on:
Doctor visits
Medications
Mental health struggles
Missed time at work
Energy drinks just to make it through the day
🧠 Why We Rationalize It
So why do we cut our fitness or wellness routines first?
Because it’s the easiest thing to justify.
“I’ll just walk at home.”
“I can always come back later.”
“It’s not forever.”
We convince ourselves we’ll stay active… we’ll eat better… we’ll “figure it out.”
But we rarely do.
Because without structure, support, and consistency—it almost never happens.
And deep down, you know that.
🩺 Your Health Is Not a Luxury
We’ve somehow been conditioned to treat exercise and well-being like they’re a luxury add-on—like premium cable.
But your health is a necessity.
You wouldn't cancel your car insurance or stop buying groceries just because things got tight, right?
Your health is your foundation.
Without it, everything else crumbles.
🔄 What If You Reframed the Conversation?
Instead of asking, “Can I afford to do this?”
Ask: “What is it costing me if I don’t?”
More joint pain
Less sleep
Constant fatigue
Weight gain
Emotional stress
Feeling disconnected from yourself
Now ask:
Is that truly cheaper?
