Financial Wellness

Cash

It's too easy to swipe and get carried away. Carrying cash can help you stick to your spending budget.

​

​This should be 20% of your total budget.

 

​Carrying cash helps you think through some of your purchases. With $20 left, is that caramel latte really worth the $4.95?​

Savings

How much are you putting away for your Rainy Day Fund, General Savings and/or  Retirement Fund?

​

This should be 20% of your total budget.

​

Automatic transfers on payday to your savings account can help you stay honest and on track to meeting your goals. Having that savings account at a different bank can also help avoid impulse transfers.

Investing

One way to build your wealth and start developing generational wealth is by investing. 

 

​This should be 10% of your total budget.

 

​Besides investing in yourself, which should always be on the list of priorities think of stocks & equities, bonds, real estate, and collectibles, to just name a few.  Develop a firm budget, do your research, and take a chance.

Holidays

Often we stick to our budget and saving plan and it all goes out the window during the holidays. 

​

One way to stay on track is to make your shopping list early with the specific items you would like to purchase. Then create a firm budget and begin purchasing items a few at a time, before the holiday craze.

​

Another way is to buy a $50 or $100 gift card a month and put them away until you start holiday shopping. Then use them to purchase gifts or simply give as a gift.
