Here are some things you can do to make those big changes happen today, next week, and during the next few months.
Today
Get in the habit of checking your checking account. If you keep a check register, maintain a running balance or use the bank’s online tools to make sure that you have sufficient funds to cover upcoming spending.
Next Week
Familiarize yourself with the online banking tools available for your account. If you have never used these tools before, staff at the bank or credit union will show you how they work.
During the Next Few Months
Use your debit card wisely to receive the highest levels of consumer protection.
