Financial Tip of The Week......

Pay yourself first! When you receive your payroll check make sure to pay yourself first. Start out with as little as $25 each pay period, many banks offer Auto Save, so when your check is deposited on your payday your bank will automatically transfer the funds into a savings account you have set up, if you DO NOT have a savings account SET ONE UP ASAP!!. It is always important to have an emergency fund. It is also important to keep some of your money separate from your day to day account (checking) you do not want to have ALL of your money in one account especially if you have direct debits or pay your bills from this account. If something were to happen like fraud or a freeze on your account, all of your money will be unavailable :(...... As always aspire to be better and do better...till next time...........

So I had a table with the bank name, we had some giveaways like popular character stickers for the kids, some fake tattoos and eco friendly bags. My company was the only bank there but the other businesses were Tutoring Services at least 5 - 6 different ones. W...
