Blog
Will you outlive your retirement income? Are your financial expectations for the coming year realistic? Our financial blog is designed to provide helpful information on a wide variety of financial topics. Simply click on one of the newsletter topics below to read the article in its entirety.
Establishing a Budget
Do you ever wonder where your money goes each month? Does it seem like you’ve never able to get ahead? If so, you may want to establish a budget to help you keep track of how you spend your money and help you reach your financial goals.
Teaching Your Child about Money
Ask your five-year old where money comes from, and the answer you’ll probably get is “From a machine!” Children can realize at a young age that they can use it to buy the things they want.
Choosing a Credit Card
Like dandelions in a spring lawn, credit card offers pop up everywhere–stuffing your mailbox, flashing on the Internet, even falling from the magazines in your doctor’s waiting room.
How Student Loans Impact Your Credit
If you’ve finished college within the last few years, chances are you’re paying off your student loans. What happens with your student loans now that they’ve entered repayment status will have a significant impact on your credit.
Applying for a Mortgage
Since most people finance their home purchases, buying a home usually involves applying for a mortgage. Here is some basic information to help guide you through the process.
Establishing a Financial Safety Net
In times of crisis, you don’t want to be shaking pennies out of a piggy bank. Having a financial safety net in place can ensure that you’re protected when a financial emergency arises.
Teaching Your Teen about Money
Your teen is becoming more independent, but still needs plenty of advice from you. With more money to spend and more opportunities to spend it, your teen can easily get into financial trouble.
Debt Consolidation
If you have a lot of debt, you’re not alone. Today, more and more Americans are burdened with credit card and loan payments. Debt consolidation may be the answer.
Understanding Your Credit Report
Your credit report contains information about your past and present credit transactions. So if you’re about to apply for credit, especially for something significant like a mortgage, you’ll want to get and review a copy of your credit report.
Refinancing Your Mortgage
When you refinance your mortgage, you take out a new home loan and use some or all of the proceeds to pay off the existing one. There are a variety of reasons to consider refinancing.
