CME Federal Credit Union

Tired of your kids begging for sugary snacks at every gas station? Here's an idea to help your kids learn sound financial habits during summer vacations!

Before the trip starts, provide them with a budgeted amount of cash for the trip (e.g. $30). Talk with them about categories for spending it, such as food or souvenirs. Consider having them separate the money into categories in advance. Then, let them know the cash is theirs to spend as they wish on the trip.

This way, they learn about budgeting in a practical way, and you avoid having to make a decision every time they beg for something sparkly!

Today we remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country.

We are grateful for their sacrifice and the freedoms it protects.

Wishing you a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Financial planning is often a shared effort, and having a plan in place can help support both short-term needs and long-term goals.

Consider building your plan together:
• Set shared financial goals
• Create and review your household budget
• Plan for major expenses like education or home projects
• Make time to check in regularly

Working together can help create stability, a shared purpose, and a strong connection as you move into the future together.
