Loyal, reliable, and furry. If you have a dog, you know that in that lovable package, you have a best friend who is always there when you need them. The same (minus the furry part) can be said of credit unions. More than being a safe and secure place for your money, credit unions are always there to help in times of need, from providing financial advice, to offering smaller loans to help you through difficult times.
Another way that your pet and finances are connected is that whether their needs are basic or they are treated like the king of the castle, pets cost money! Make sure to factor your pet’s expenses into your budget. Depending on the size (or appetite) of your dog, food costs can range from $250-700 per year! In addition, most dogs do not live on kibble alone- I know I wouldn’t want to have to explain a treat shortage to my dog Charlie! If vet bills are a concern, many credit unions offer Pet Insurance, making dealing those expenses more manageable.
So today, why not take a couple minutes to brighten your day? Give your pet a hug, and look into joining a credit union!
