Slow down your spending. Leave extra cash at home, don’t buy on impulse, and don’t borrow from friends or get advances on your paycheck.
Start the savings habit. It is recommended that adults save at least 10% of their before-tax income, but it is important to pick a dollar amount you can realistically save each month and stick to it.
Look at savings as paying yourself first. Every time you get your paycheck save a portion of it. Increase the amount you save every time you get a raise or pay off a loan.
Save automatically. When you have a job, you can do this easily by taking advantage of direct deposit at AODFCU.
Have an emergency fund. If you have a car or other financial responsibilities, you’ll need an extra cushion of savings to cover unexpected emergencies, such as car repairs.
