7 Financial Resolutions to Make This New Year

 As is tradition, many people ring in the New Year with a list of resolutions, vowing to take steps to improve their lives. If you are starting 2022 determined to make changes, then consider adding some financial resolutions to your list as a way to improve your financial well-being.

Here are some financial resolutions to consider and the steps you can take to achieve them.

Save more money by changing your spending habits

At the top of any financial resolution list is to ‘spend less and save more’. There are many ways to do this, but the simplest is to take a closer look at what you spend your money on every week.

Do you buy coffee every day? Do you pay for services you rarely use such as a gym membership or online subscriptions? Can you live without your television cable?

After you assess your spending habits consider eliminating just one spending pattern – this small step will help you save money without feeling deprived.

Automate your savings

Pay yourself first by setting up automatic monthly transfers into a high-interest savings account such as ucublu. You will easily save more money and be less tempted to spend it. More information about our higher interest savings account and how to open a ucublu account can be found on our website.

Be quick to pay your bills and slow to spend your money

Pay your monthly bills as soon as they are due to avoid late payment penalties. Also, slow down your spending decision-making process to evaluate if you really need to make that purchase. This will minimize impulse buying and save you money in the long run.

Start a budget

You know how much money you bring in each month, but do you know how much you spend each month?

To stay on top of your finances start a budget and keep track of all your expenses. Then make a plan that includes paying off your debts, and saving a portion of your income in a higher interest account.

Pay credit card balance in full each month

To avoid paying high compounding credit card interest aim to pay your credit card balance in full each month. If that is not possible, then strive to pay more than the minimum required payment.

Consolidate your debt

If you are carrying multiple credit card balances every month and are having trouble keeping up with your household bills or other loan payments, then a debt consolidation loan may help simplify your debt repayment process.

Taking out a UCU Debt Consolidation Loan will also keep you on track to becoming debt-free sooner.
