Haley– “I took your tip and opened a Roth IRA as my employer does not currently have any 401K or retirement benefits in place. I’m 27 and keep saving for other things (like wedding and house down payment) and keep neglecting retirement thinking I’ll have time in the future….thanks for inspiring me to get $50 in there NOW, not later!” #Moneywin

Zuri– “I set a 1I set a 1 year New Years goal to get my credit over 700 again. I really had a lot of debt. My credit utilization was in the 80 percentile after Christmas season. It really was effecting my mood so much I felt really depressed and stressed because me, my wife and son are planning to make a cross country move in 2021 and with that amount of debt, I felt so behind.

So, after I set the goal, I really went in….all of my extra money went to debt. My whole tax return went to debt. Then when covid 19 came about and forced us inside, I found myself having extra money cause I was no longer eating out…going out….worked from home and even after things kind of opened up….I kept at it. And now here I am 6 months later well over 700. I feel very good about this, its such a relief. Going forward I’m never letting my card usage get so high again. I will stay below the 15% mark. And pay everything off immediately. I’m really financially confident now.” #moneywin

Trisha– “Little #moneywin but it feels like a big deal to me:

My car battery died last week, and we had enough cash saved in our Emergency Fund to pay for a new one. No putting it on our charge account at the shop, no putting it on the credit card, and, most importantly, no taking $130 out of this month’s grocery budget. It feels pretty dang awesome! 👊”
