It’s Time for Spring Cleaning!

Tired of washing windows? Why not take a break from housework, and tackle a spring cleaning project that could really use your attention- your finances! Whether it is as simple as balancing your checkbook, or as daunting as paying off that credit card, the relief that comes with not having to stress about money can feel even more satisfying than a clean closet.

Or, why not simplify your life by moving your money, from your savings account to your car loan, to a credit union? Not only will you save time by only having to deal with one financial institution, you can also save money, as credit unions are known for their great rates and fewer fees.

If your financial situation is messier than your sock drawer, a credit union is also a great place to start. They can give you guidance on how to take control of your finances, and will work with you to help you get back on your feet.

The Maine Credit Union League also has a variety of resources for both youth and adults, with links to organizations that can help, where to go to check your credit score, activities to promote financial literacy at a young age, and more! Click here to find out more.
