SAVE 10% OF YOUR PAYCHECK

Plain and simple. Save 10% – and only use 90%.

TACKLE YOUR DEBT

Use debit cards and cash. Avoid credit cards!

INCREASE YOUR CREDIT SCORE

Autopay helps a lot with this! Pay down that balance!

INCREASE YOUR RETIREMENT SAVINGS CONTRIBUTIONS

Focus on starting today and contribute to your 401K and meet your employer’s match!

INVEST SMARTER

Make it a goal to become financially literate. Determine your goals and find a plan to match them!

+ BONUS: PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES

Always create an emergency fund with 6 months worth of living expenses, set aside in a savings account. Can you pay your rent/mortgage, health bills, insurance, groceries, diapers, etc. without having to sell investments or even worse, add debt on your credit card? Make sure you can!
