WHAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW

Information is great. But taking small steps now can lead to big changes.
  • Today
  • Keep saving. Share your success with someone close to you.
  • Next Week
  • Consider getting formal support with a financial mentor, counselor, or coach. Try the National Foundation for Credit Counseling to see if there are counselors or coaches in your community.
  • Try your local United Way organization to see if they know about a financial mentoring, counseling, or coaching program in your community.
  • During the Next Few Months
  • If you’ve been saving successfully, keep up the good work. You are building your financial health in an important way—preparing yourself and your family to deal with the financial impact of emergencies. Celebrate your success!
  • If you’ve been struggling with saving, try another strategy. See if rounding up works for you. Or, try selling something. Even a small amount every month can make a big difference.
