Smart Savings Strategies That Don't Feel Restrictive
About this episode
Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing and Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, hosts Grant Gallagher and Shawn Lubitz discuss how to find the motivation to save. Key discussion topics include saving for exciting goals, practicing positive reframing, and balancing short-term expenses with long-term priorities.
Following the main discussion, the team answers a question from the member mailbag. Grant pulls the following submission: I always tell myself I am going to use the weekend to reset, get organized, and get ahead, especially when it comes to things like my finances, but it never really happens. I end up feeling just as behind on Monday. How do you actually make time to reset without it feeling like more work?
Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s Cash Back Plus Checking Account. Earn up to 10% in cash back on debit card purchases, get refunds on ATM withdrawal fees, and manage your money with zero monthly maintenance fees.
