Spring is here— it’s time to refresh more than just your home! Give your budget a quick cleanup with these simple steps to save more and spend smarter.
1. Track Your Spending
If you don’t know where your money goes, it’s easy to overspend. Keep a record to set realistic budgets and stay on track.
2. Cut Unnecessary Costs
Review subscriptions, coffee runs, and dining out. Cutting small expenses frees up money for savings and debt repayment.
3. Use Financial Wellness Resources
Auburn University Credit Union (AUCU) has partnered with Green Path, a non-profit financial wellness organization, to provide AUCU members with free access to money management and financial education services. We are giving our members the knowledge and tools they need to make smart financial decisions.
4. Create a Savings Plan
Set a monthly savings goal and automate transfers to a savings account. AUCU’s online account access and Bill Pay makes transferring and saving money easy! Over time, these small steps add up.
5. Choose the Right Savings Account
Maximize savings with accounts that fit your goals. AUCU members can access:
- Prime Share Accounts: The tried-and-true savings account. Watch as your dividends accrue daily and are paid out quarterly.
- Sub Share Accounts: Save for multiple goals while keeping everything organized and in one place.
