Top 5 Money Tips

2. The key to financial success is living below your means. Living above your means is called DEBT. Living at your means is called living paycheck to paycheck. Living below your means helps secure your future!
3. Pull your credit report annually to check for accuracy.
4. Create at least one long term and one short term financial goal -- it is easier to save with a plan in mind.
5. Keep doing what you are doing and you will keep getting what you have already got. If you want something different, then DO something different.
