Message from the CEO: Make Saving Automatic
We all know saving money is important, but it can be challenging if we save only what’s left after paying bills and spending. Setting up automatic savings plans can help us build savings consistently, without having to choose each pay cycle how much to set aside. Consider setting up one or more of these savings plans:
Direct Deposit
Your employer may allow you to have a certain amount of your paycheck directly deposited into a savings account. Think of it as paying yourself first, before you spend on other things.
Automatic Transfer
Set up an auto-transfer amount from checking to savings each pay period. Start with $25, $50, or even $10 at first and increase it as you are able. Over time, these small transfers can add up to big savings!
Employer Retirement Plans
If your employer offers a match on your contributions, try to save at least that much in your plan. This is free money that will enable you to save more on an annual basis. For example, if your company offers a 3% 401k match, and you save 3%, your total annual savings will actually be 6%.
The staff at Fort Lee FCU would be happy to speak with you about your options and help you start your automatic savings journey.
Yours in service,
Patsy Stuard, CEO
