TIPS ON MANAGING AND SAVING MONEY

​During COVID-19 and Beyond
1.  WORK ON YOUR FINANCIAL AWARENESS
How much money is coming in (income)?
How much money is going out (expenses)?
  • Know your total monthly expenses (i.e. mortgage/rent, loan payments, credit cards, kidsʻ expenses, groceries, eating out, gas, utilities, memberships, hair/nails, shopping, etc.)
  • It’s not how much money you make but how much you have left after paying your total monthly expenses or cash flow
  • Budget 
               – be on the same page as your spouse
               – remember wants vs. needs, be disciplined, implement a reward system

2. EDUCATE YOURSELF
What different types of loans are there?
​Whatʻs an amortized loan?
  • Set term (i.e. 5-year car loan, 30-year mortgage)
  • Fixed monthly payments applied to principal and interest
  1. How much will I have paid to the bank after my loan is paid off?
  2. Pay off loans faster to save money on interest
  3. How can I utilize a line of credit to help me pay off my loans faster?
Do I have good credit?
  • Check your credit report at least once a year
  • Learn factors that impact your credit score
  • Learn how your credit score affects your borrowing power

3. BE PREPARED
If something were to happen to your income, are you prepared?
  • Set goals and look at options for increasing your leftover money ($ after paying expenses)
  • Continue to pay your monthly mortgage, loan payments, credit cards
  • Pay off as much of your debt as possible
  • Don’t rush to spend your stimulus check
  • Establish reserves
