Managing the financial responsibilities of family life

By the time you have a family of your own, there will be accompanying expenses such as fees for various activities and lessons for your children, family vacations, saving for college educations or buying a new home. Throughout this time, you should regularly evaluate your progress towards achieving the financial goals you set earlier in your life and adjust your spending, budgeting and saving to make sure you stay on track. With all the demands a family places on your income, it is still important to build your long-term investments.

Planning and discipline that determines what and how you spend contributes to your future financial success. Here are some tips Community First Bank recommends for sound financial management during this demanding time of your life.

1. Shop for the best mortgage and consumer loans

2. Understand your credit report

3. Start Saving for College

4. Conserve time, money and paper with Community First Bank's convenient checking accounts with online banking and bill pay and no-charge ATM services

5. Save for Retirement

Tips for Effective Financial Management:

  • Make sure your mortgage payment, including taxes and insurance, represents no more than XX percent of your gross monthly income.
  • Review the cost of your health care insurance and make sure you are getting adequate coverage at the best price.
  • Make wise purchasing decisions by determining what you “need” compared to what you “want.” This will help you make ongoing decisions to keep your finances in check.
  • Guard against impulse shopping, especially for costly purchases such as vehicles, major appliances, furniture, jewelry and the like.
