5 Things to do in your 20’s

5 financial things to do in your 20's

1. BUILD AN EMERGENCY FUND
No one likes unexpected expenses, but you will learn it is part of life. Vehicles break, dental and health issues arise, and jobs come and go.  By steadily putting money into a savings account, you can be prepared BEFORE it happens. OPEN A SAVINGS ACCOUNT TODAY!
2. PAY OFF CREDIT CARD DEBT
There are many advantages to having a credit card, but that wonderful feeling can quickly change when the balance gets too high. Use your 20’s to pay these cards off and maintain a healthy balance you can manage.
3. TAKE THE JOB YOU LOVE
Depending on your family situation, the 20’s can be a great time to follow your passions and land the job of your dreams. If you don’t have many financial obligations, you can take the job you want for less pay and see where that takes you.
4. OPEN AN IRA
Retirement may seem like a long way off, but you can use that time on your side.  Even though you may not be able to contribute a lot, it is important that you get started. This good habit will pay off years down the road.  SRCFCU has an IRA plan for you!
5. TAKE THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME
Life is happening now, and while it is important to save…it is also important to enjoy each stage of your life.  Instead of putting you trip on credit cards, make a plan.  You have a decade to work towards this.
