Spring is the perfect time to refresh your finances and establish healthy money habits. Navigator Credit Union has some tips to help you spring into financial wellness. First, dust off your budget.
Review your income, expenses, and financial goals. Look for subscriptions or recurring charges you no longer use. Even small adjustments can free up money for savings or reduce financial stress.
Next, plan for upcoming expenses. Spring often brings seasonal spending such as Mother’s Day, weddings, graduations, or summer travel. Take time now to budget for these events.
Planning now can help you avoid last-minute credit card charges and keep you on track with your financial goals. A short-term savings challenge is a fun way to boost your financial confidence.
Freshen up your finances
Try a 30-day “no spend” challenge or aim to save a certain amount each week until summer. These small victories can lead to long-term success. Spring is also a great time to review your credit report for accuracy.
