MY TOP 4 MONEY TIPS 💸
Since I’ve been working with Summit Credit Union for a while now, I wanted to share what I’ve learned so far on my financial journey.
1. Track Your Spending
• The best place to start is by knowing how much you make and where it’s all going.
• Summit has free, easy-to-use expense-tracking worksheets on their website.
2. Consider Opening a Credit Card
• You don’t need to spend much—just make your payments on time to build a good credit history.
• Good credit history = better credit score
• Better credit score = lower interest rates
• Lower interest rates = more money in your pocket
3. Wants vs. Needs
• Ask yourself:
• Do I really need this?
• Is this just a trend?
• Do I already have something similar?
4. Pay Yourself First
• Follow the 50/30/20 rule:
• 50% needs
• 30% wants
• 20% savings
• Set up automatic transfers from your paycheck to your savings—it makes things so much easier!
