The analysis samples were restricted to those with valid data on financial fragility, financial control, well-being outcomes and all other covariates. All models in were adjusted for baseline demographics (gender, age, race, marital status, education level, having children, taking care of an elder), baseline financial situation (labor market status, worrying about expenses, housing, food and safety), baseline civic engagement (volunteering, community engagement, voting), baseline lifestyle factors (religious service attendance, practicing a sport, drinking and smoking). Additionally, each model is controlled for a baseline outcome investigated in a particular model
