How to Save When You Just Want to Spend
Balance is important when it comes to saving and spending. Learn how to compromise so you can get what you want now and still reach your goals in the future.
“You need to save for college!” “Set money aside to save up for a car!” “Keep your eyes on the prize!” But how do you save for the future when the present is happening right now? Your friends are buying new clothes, the latest games, awesome shoes. It’s no fun being the only one who saves all their money for years. So don’t save all your money. You can enjoy the now and also prepare for the days to come by learning how to save money as a teen.
Let's face it, instant gratification feels great in the moment, or at least until you get home and realize you won't be able to treat yo' self for months. However, giving yourself more time to pay upfront instead of using credit is way more beneficial to your wallet. Get started with setting up a budget within your means.
How can you make money to buy what you want while balancing school and extracurriculars? If you’re ready to work hard, your options are open.
Our Future Funders Accounts help you practice managing your money so you can take control of your future.
When you become a Future Funder, not only do you get a Future Funders goodie bag, but you also get a stamp card. This card works just like a coffee shop stamp card, where you receive a stamp from one of our branch representatives each time you make a deposit of $25 or more into your savings account. Every eight stamps, we also deposit $25 into your savings to give an extra boost towards your future plans.
