Be willing to seek out and take advantage of opportunities that will support and increase your financial wellness.

2022 America Saves Week

Save Automatically

While having a savings goal is important, the most important is to make saving a habit and the simplest way to do that is through setting up automatic savings. This is the core principle behind the “pay yourself first” philosophy!

Save For The Unexpected

Saving for the “unexpected” doesn’t have to mean an emergency. Sometimes the unexpected can be a special event or trip that you don’t want to miss out on. Create an emergency fund so that you are prepared for things that mean a lot to you along with those unplanned mishaps.

Save For Retirement

It is never too early or too late to prepare for retirement! Depending upon your current life stage, your retirement savings strategy will vary. Take time to assess and seek appropriate resources to be prepared for the future.

Save By Reducing Debt

Paying down debt has multiple benefits: increasing your credit score, saving money on interest and fees, and gaining more disposable or discretionary income. Make sure you are aware of your existing debt and have a plan for paying it down.

Save as a Family

Make saving a family affair! Start your children early and let them see the benefit of waiting for a wanted reward. Raising financially confident and competent children starts with good financial habits.
