Valentine’s Day while budgeting doesn’t have to be tricky and unfulfilling. The day is truly for showing love to loved ones, and money doesn’t have to be a major factor in showing affection. Most people go all out, spending far more money than expected, leaving them with a bit of remorse for overspending.

ADVANTAGE CHALLENGE - 
Are you up for the Advantage Challenge?

Advantage CCS challenges YOU to Sign-up for an Automatic Savings Plan!

A lot of online banks have this type of system in place so it wouldn’t be difficult to find one. There are online banks that have been pushing people to save by giving promos for higher interest rates when you deposit more than usual in a particular month.

Another option is for you to sign up with your company’s cooperative if your organization has one. Take advantage of it as they usually offer annual dividends with higher rates compared to banks. Having an auto-save option will allow you to treat savings like a deduction since you won’t be able to touch the amount and be tempted to spend it. 

Let us know if you're up for this challenge and keep us updated on your progress! Email us at: info@advantageccs.org
