Financial benefits refer to the monetary gains obtained from a particular action, decision, or situation. They can be direct (like salary from a job) or indirect (like the value of health insurance provided by an employer).
Think of financial benefits like the points you earn in a video game. The more tasks you complete successfully, the more points (or money) you accumulate. These points can then be used to upgrade your character, buy new equipment, or unlock new levels - just like how financial benefits can improve your lifestyle.
