Three Ways To Make Your Money Work Harder For You



While the theme of this week for many will probably focus on turkey, giving thanks, and finding deals on Friday, we want to spend some time to focusing on making your life easier so you have more time to think about those things and not your money!  Here are three ways you can effortlessly make your money work harder for you:

1.  Start Saving!  It sounds simple, but the first step is always just to start.  Elect to have your paychecks automatically deposit a certain amount in to your savings account so you don’t have to think about it.  You won’t even miss the money because you won’t see it from the beginning in your checking account and it will just start adding up in your savings!

2.  It’s Your Change! Honor’s "It’s Your Change" program could not make it any easier to both balance your checking account AND add a little extra in your savings account each month.  "It’s Your Change" automatically rounds each purchase up to the next dollar and transfers that change into your savings account for you!  You will be surprised how doing something this simple can add up over time!

3.  Take Advantage of Interest Rates!  Perhaps the easiest way to make your money work harder for you is by letting it earn interest.  Accounts like Honor’s Benefits Checking let you use your checking account like your busy life requires AND get 5% APY on your first $5000!  Or if you are interested in more of a savings account that will pay you interest, check out our CD special that will give you up to 2.22%! You can find out all the details and requirements for both of those accounts and more at www.honorcu.com!

The goal is always to get more for your money while working less, and your local credit union can help you do that!  You can listen to Honor's CEO Scott and 97.5 Y-Country's Wild Bill talk about their tips to make your money work harder for you on this week's Mason Jar Monday!
