Morning Blend on Mater Dei Radio: “Financial Stability in 2026”
A New Year means New Years Resolutions! Optimize your savings for financial stability in the start of a new year.
Working towards something, especially something as important as financial stability, is a huge motivator. Financial stability is not an easy place to arrive to.
Follow these easy steps to work towards that:
- Create an emergency fund — $50 is better than nothing but $1000 is a great place to start!
- 401k match and HSA contributions — these are a great tool for expenses in the future
- Get rid of debt completely! Focus on the high interest and student loan debt first.
- Save more meaningful amounts towards retirement. If you can save 10% of your income consistently, that gives you more options in the future!
- Save to buy a home. This is #5 on purpose! It can be hard to ignore this before you get your retirement savings plan situated.
- Save more, pay additional debt, have some fun!
These are long term goals. They aren’t going to be met tomorrow. This list isn’t designed to make you feel behind, but rather help you get ahead!
