Are You Ready to Be a Better Saver? | Cleveland Bradley County Teachers Federal Credit Union

Let’s face it. Spending money is more fun than saving it—until the moment comes where something breaks and needs to be replaced, you need to make a big purchase or you want to retire.

Our team at Cleveland Bradley County Teachers Federal Credit Union wants you to stay ahead of the game by establishing a strong savings account so that you can be prepared for whatever comes your way!

Saving Can Be Easy

Spending less and saving more is the name of the game this year. Let’s take a look at ways you can build a strong savings account sooner rather than later.

First, it is never too late to start. It doesn’t matter if it has been awhile since you had a savings account or if you have never saved a day in your life. Your saving habits start now.

If you keep waiting until tomorrow, it will not happen. Tomorrow is today, and you need to put back some money to start building your savings account.

Second, you need to remember that no matter how big or small the amount, you need to start somewhere.

Think you have no money to put back into savings? Think again! How many times have you eaten out this week?

While you need to have fun in life, you also need to be prepared for a rainy day. Therefore, instead of eating out three days a week, eat out only one day a week and put the money you would have spent on the other two days into your savings account. Every bit counts!

Finally, did you recently pay off a debt? Or do you have a monthly bill that went away?

Don’t stop writing that check. Since you are already used to not having that money, go ahead and keep writing the check but put it into your savings account. You won’t even miss that money, because you weren’t used to having it to begin with.
