What is Competent?
The solid feeling that you know how to handle financial matters — budgeting, investing, negotiating. You can navigate financial systems without feeling lost. Competence brings calm and reduces money-related stress.
When you might feel competent
Competent is a specific form of confident, which itself is a type of empowered. You might experience this feeling in situations where empowered is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define competent.
