What's on Your Financial Checklist This July? | Cleveland Bradley County Teachers Federal Credit Union

How is your summer going so far? Now that we are entering July, it is time to make sure your finances are not falling off track.

Our team at Cleveland Bradley County Teachers Federal Credit Union wants to make sure that while you are enjoying your summer break that you are not taking a break from good financial habits.

Let’s take a look at some ways you can keep your finances on track this summer. Start here:

Be Prepared to Take Flight

Are you still counting down the days until your summer vacation? If you are flying, go ahead and plan on making air travel easier by applying for the TSA Precheck or Global Entry in order to make it easier to check in when traveling this summer.

Check In With Student Loans

Did you recently graduate from college? While your student loan payments might not start for another few months, it is important to review your student loan options so that you are sure to pick the right repayment option for your finances.

In addition, there is no penalty for paying off your student loans early. Therefore, see how you can best manage your finances once student loan payments start so that you can pay your debt off sooner rather than later.

Go for a Test Drive

Have you been planning on purchasing a new car in the near future? One of the best times to purchase a new vehicle is at the end of summer or in the fall, since car dealers begin marking the current year’s models down as the next year’s models start arriving.

Prep yourself for an upcoming car purchase by making sure your credit score is in good shape—and check into loan options so you’ll know what’s best for you.
