Smart Money Tips
The beginning of the year is a great time to commit yourself to making better choices for your financial health. Here are a couple of great tips to help you reach your financial goals!
- Did you know that the average American family spends about $647 on groceries every month? Save on groceries by meal planning and taking a look at your pantry BEFORE you head to the store!
- Make your own coffee or tea! Skip the coffee shop or drive-thru and make it at home. It’ll save you money and could be better for you since you are in control of what goes in your drink.
