Why do people make New Year resolutions? What are resolutions really all about?
We often set these unattainable goals for ourselves only to fail within weeks, sometimes not even making it that long.
Some of the most common resolutions are to lose weight, quit bad habits (smoking, drinking), aspire for a healthier lifestyle, go to church more, find a new job, make more money, get better organized or simply to be a better person. But did you catch that one about the cash in the middle of that list? Make more money?
I have the perfect resolution idea and it’s one where you will not fall into a statistical category of being one of many whose resolutions never amounted to more than just a great idea. Open a savings account for yourself at Truliant Federal Credit Union. It’s sooo easy. All you need is $5.00 to open and you’re all set as a member-owner. And if you already have an account, then New Year’s is a perfect time to put a little $$$ in your account for the future. It doesn’t have to be a lot – it can be that spare change that’s lying around or a few dollars that you got from grandma – it will add up and draw interest.
This is a fail-proof resolution and you can actually monitor your reward online at www.truliantfcu.org. Start this New Year the right way by placing an easy to achieve goal on your list – save money with Truliant and you’ll be toasting yourself everyday!

As a former financial counselor, I can attest that a savings habit is one of the best ways to absorb the financial shocks common in this challenging economy. Familes that save will certainly encounter challenges (lost income, unusual and unexpected expenses) but will ultimately prevail if they save for emergencies and financial goals.
