RESOLUTION 3: SAVINGS CHALLENGE

Saving is one of the most difficult things to do, especially for a college student. There are always bills to pay and things to do, but saving doesn’t have to be a pain. So challenge yourself to complete the One Year Savings Plan.

This is how the plan goes: for the first week of the year, you save $1. The next week, you save $2 and so on until the end of the year. By the end of the year, if you have kept up with the challenge, you will have $1,378 in your bank!

One last thing, keep in mind that the SMMC team is always here to help you reach and maintain your financial goals. Be sure to schedule a coaching session if you need any help getting started on your personal financial resolutions!

Cheers to the New Year, and a richer you!
