5 Steps to Financial Wellness.
Did you know August 14th is National Financial Awareness Day? It’s the perfect time to evaluate your financial health, make intentional improvements, and position yourself for long-term financial success. Whether you’re looking to save more, manage debt, or simply have more control over your finances, Coca-Cola Credit Union is here to support your goals with personalized tools and resources designed for our members.
In honor of this important day, we’re outlining five actionable steps you can take with the help of Coca-Cola Credit Union to kickstart your journey toward financial wellness. Let’s get started!
1. Set Clear Financial Goals
The foundation of financial wellness is knowing where you’re going. Do you want to grow your savings, reduce debt, invest for retirement, or save for a specific milestone like a family vacation? On National Financial Awareness Day, set (or revisit) your financial goals to ensure they align with your current circumstances and future aspirations.
At Coca-Cola Credit Union, we’re here to help you make those goals achievable. Our financial tools, savings accounts, and financial counseling services are designed to turn your dreams into actionable plans. If you’re unsure how to start, our team can guide you through the process of creating realistic and effective financial plans.
2. Boost Your Savings with High-Yield Options
A key part of financial awareness is understanding where your money is working hardest for you. If you’re leaving extra cash in a low-interest savings account, now is a great time to switch to a high-yield savings account or money market account.
Coca-Cola Credit Union offers competitive savings options that help your money grow faster without unnecessary fees. Want to take automation to the next level? Set up auto-transfers from your checking to your savings account so that saving becomes effortless. Small, consistent steps can turn into big results over time.
3. Evaluate and Manage Your Debt
Debt is an area where financial awareness can make a huge impact. Take some time to review your outstanding debts, including credit cards, auto loans, and personal loans. Are you paying high-interest rates? Are there better repayment strategies to accelerate your progress?
Coca-Cola Credit Union offers low-interest loan refinancing options that can potentially save you thousands of dollars over time. Refinancing a high-interest credit card balance or auto loan through us is a smart way to gain control of your debt while lowering your monthly payments. Plus, our financial counseling program can help you prioritize debt repayment and fully understand your options.
4. Take Advantage of Rewards Credit Cards
If you’re using credit, why not make it work harder for you? Coca-Cola Credit Union offers rewards-based credit cards with competitive rates that benefit your everyday spending. Whether you’re earning points for travel, cash-back rewards, or additional perks, our credit cards are designed to provide value without high fees.
On National Financial Awareness Day, take a closer look at what your current credit card offers—or doesn’t. Switching to a credit union card could mean lower interest rates, fewer fees, and more benefits. Be sure to check out our current promotions or introductory offers to maximize your rewards.
5. Invest in Your Financial Education
Financial awareness is an ongoing journey, and every step you take toward learning more about money management can empower you. Coca-Cola Credit Union makes it easy to grow your financial literacy with free tools, educational resources, and access to personalized financial counseling.
From webinars on effective budgeting strategies to advice on planning for retirement, we’ve got you covered. Take advantage of our resources to build a solid foundation of financial knowledge—and take charge of your financial future with confidence.
