3 Tips to Meet Your Savings Goal for 2018 | First Volunteer Bank

As we approach the end of 2018, it is time to evaluate where you stand with the financial goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the year. Is your savings account where you hoped it would be, or do you have some more work to do?

Our team at First Volunteer Bank wants to help you reach your savings goal by offering these words of advice for making every moment count from now until the end of the year.

Let’s take a look at some ways you can start saving more money to meet your 2018 goals, as well as start 2019 off down the right financial path.

Cancel What You Don’t Need

Are you paying for cable but always watch Netflix? Did you join a gym but never go? What about that monthly magazine subscription, do you really need it?

Now is a great time to cancel things you just plain aren’t using—and use that money to give your savings account a boost!

Make Use of Your Holiday Bonus

If you are fortunate, your company provided you with a holiday bonus. And you might even receive some additional cash as a holiday gift from loved ones.

While the most appealing thing to do might be to go shopping, the best thing to do is to put that money into your savings account.

Although a new television or phone might give you immediate satisfaction, your savings will give you peace of mind and financial freedom. No TV or iPhone can top that!

Declutter Your Space

Did you get some time off for the holiday? Why not use some of that time to declutter your home and sell what you no longer need?

That way you’ll have a cleaner home and more money in your pocket. That’s a win-win situation!
