SAVING AND PLANNING FOR VACATION

TIPS TO AVOIDING OVERDRAFT FEES
If you’ve ever overdrawn your checking account – you know, ‘bounced a check’ – you’re aware it can be a costly hassle.
That’s why it’s important to always keep track of how much you spend, whether it’s shopping with your debit card, using an ATM, or writing checks.

If you started contributing to your retirement fund in your 20s or 30s, your money has already been growing. And if you can swing it, your 40s are a good time to take a look at increasing your monthly contribution.
