6 Ways to Love Your Finances
Show yourself financial self-love this month.
It's February and love is in the air! As you celebrate the love you share with special people in your life, be sure to also set aside some time to show a little love and appreciation to your most important relationship—your relationship with yourself. A commitment to your personal needs can help you cope with everyday stressors by restoring balance and improving overall wellness. Eating well, exercising and meditation are healthy habits that are great for self-care. We want to add another practice to that list—growing confidence in your finances.
Financial self-care means taking the time to focus on your finances and create healthier money habits that lead to greater financial health and overall well-being. We get it. Setting aside time for yourself can be tough when you’re juggling work, family, fun, school and other responsibilities. Starting small can make big impacts down the road.
This Valentine’s Day, we’re encouraging you to make a commitment to show yourself some love and give your financial wellness the attention it deserves. Here are some tips to kick-start your financial self-care.
1. Start with your financial goals.
Financial wellness starts with making financial choices that support your values, dreams and life goals. Write down those goals somewhere visible so you can be reminded of them often. Constant reminders can help you form new habits that support your overall financial goals.
2. Set up a financial savings plan.
Talk to your Broadway Banker about options for a dedicated savings account if you don’t have one already. Saving for the big and little things in life can help you avoid debt down the road. Whether you are planning for the short-term, like a wedding or a vacation or the long-term, like college tuition or a down payment on your dream home, Broadway Bank makes saving easy. Visit our website for more details and to be connected to a banker.
3. Explore investments* for your future.
Nothing says long-term commitment like investing. This is the kind of Valentine’s Day gift where the value grows and will benefit you in the long run. If you need a place to start, our Broadway Wealth Management team, made up of in-house, locally-based investment professionals can partner with you to build a customized portfolio. They give clients sound financial advice to ensure they are investing wisely.
4. Repeat this: “I am a financial rock star! I believe that wealth is possible for me.”
Whether or not you believe in manifestation, verbalizing reminders to yourself cultivates mindfulness and reinforces confidence and personal goals. We believe that you’re worth it and taking time to invest in yourself and your finances will put you on the right track to financial health. Set the right intentions and everything will fall into place.
5. Review your expenses and spending habits.
Write down all of your income, expenses, debts and savings. If you already feeling anxious about your finances, this can be a beneficial exercise to re-establish your goals. Having a full view of your financial picture can help you identify areas for improvement, discover unnecessary expenses and make an updated spending plan.
