Money Management Tips
Think you’re too young to save?
Think again!
It’s never too early. In fact, it’s smart to start as early as you can.
The Smart Investor Starts Young
You don’t need to be wealthy or a financial genius to start investing. You simply need to take the first steps with a reputable advisor who speaks your language.
Start Today!
- Set up an automatic transfer of money to a savings account each time you get paid. (And it doesn’t have to be a lot. Any amount is better than nothing!) Log in to Online Banking to get started!
- Decide when you want to retire and calculate how much you'll need to save. Don’t know how much you’ll need? Try our calculators.
Savings Account Options
Whether you're saving for a special event, financial independence, or the unexpected, we have a savings option for you.
What Do I Do with an Extra $500 or More?
You must first make sure your “life happens” fund is up to par. (Ideally, you should have a savings account with 3 to 6 months of take-home pay saved.)
Beyond that, consider these options:
- Open an Individual Retirement Account (No, you aren’t too young for this!)
- Pay down high-interest debt.
- Open a new “goal-focused” savings account (save for a home or trip) and track it through MyFinance.
- Own your home? Make small upgrades.
Still Using Your First Checking Account?
Your checking account should fit your current lifestyle and goals. Could you benefit from a Rewards Checking account that pays interest?

Why HSAs Make Sense for Young People
When you are young, your medical expenses tend to be lower, so by contributing now, you earn interest tax-free toward qualified medical expenses! A Health Savings Account is employee owned, so it stays with you through a job change and rolls over from year to year.
