Save for the Unexpected
Putting money aside for a rainy day doesn’t always need to be a big investment, a simple deduction of $25 a month can help you if an unexpected cost occurs. Watch this short video of a mom who had a plan when she needed to make an unexpected car repair.
Save as a Family
The best way to teach great money habits to our children is to model great money habits. While most Americans know the importance of making sound financial decisions, many feel that money management wasn’t taught to them at a young age. Watch how this family teaches their children about simple ways to save while having fun.
Save by Reducing Debt
We all want to create a better relationship with our money. You can do this by taking simple steps to pay down debt and reach financial security. When you pay on time, you save on late fees and maintain your credit score – which will save money long-term. After debt is paid, you’ll have extra resources to set aside for vacations, hobbies and increased retirement savings.
