January is not only the beginning of a new
year, but also the official Financial Wellness Month. It’s a great time to look over your family
finances and see where you can improve.
Here are a few great places to start…
Get rid of debt. Debt reduces your monthly
income, costs you money in interest, and can make it harder to purchase a
home. Maybe 2016 will be the year that
you get rid of it once and for all? One simple tip you can start with is leave your credit card at home. Only having cash on hands limits your spending. For more great tips on where to start and how to create a debt payoff plan, check out
books by Dave Ramsey or Suze Orman.
Put more money in savings. The easiest way to save
money each month? Put it on
autopilot. Set up an automatic transfer
from your checking to your savings account on the day you get paid. Or find out how you can save money tax free
in a retirement account through your employer.
The less you have to think about it, the easier it will be to save!
Get the right insurance. You don’t want to skimp on
insurance coverage, but you don’t have to overpay either! Call us today to schedule a free
