Today’s Money Management topic is wealth management.

All week long we have been talking about various ways to improve how we manage our money, and it was all a build up to this moment: the wealth conversation!

Whether you have a family to provide for, business or philanthropic goals, or have cemented yourself as the cool auntie or uncle who lives for traveling, at some point we all must start to think about and plan our financial future. Knowing and understanding your net worth is not just a task for celebrities or the billionaires of the world. As Charnell Thweatt of CPT Consulting reminds us, the decisions we make now directly impact our future, but we are all capable of getting the results we want with a little discipline.

“The key to building wealth is creating the habit of saving money and spending less than what you earn. We’re always surrounding by things we want or think we need, but the truth is, just because you can afford to buy new things, doesn't mean you should. It is never too early to start thinking about your net worth and how you can build and maintain wealth. It is the planning now that will ensure you and your family have what you need and want in the future.”

Have you calculated your net worth? What is one step you can take to can yield a strong financial future for your family?

Today’s Money Management topic is more of a call to action: keep it simple and use an app.

ranks some of the most popular finance apps based on the tasks needed, from tracking debt to allocating shared expenses. Check them out to see if some of these can work for you.

Today’s Money Management Topic is banking practices.

Considering how technologically advanced our society is, it’s easy to assume everyone regularly uses a bank account; but the truth is, that is not the case.

An FDIC survey analyzed by revealed that even though Black and Latinx families make up 32% of the U.S. population, they represent 64% of the country’s unbanked and 47% of its underbanked households.

There are many reasons why our community chooses not to engage with the banking industry. However, as Charnell Thweat of CPR Consulting reminds us, simple steps could be the key to lifelong positive financial management.

“Having your money separated into more than banking account, especially where money is sent directly to a savings account, is an easy way to stick to your savings goal and prevent unnecessary spending.

By storing you money with a bank or credit union you are making sure it remains safe, it is easy to keep track of; and often your money can make money by earning interest each year.”

Do you have some banking questions we can answer?

Today’s Money Management topic is budgeting!
 
For some of us, creating and sticking to a budget just seems like a really steep hill we don’t have the energy to climb, especially after the last few years. Luckily, we have someone our team to help this community understand what it takes to make this process as easy as possible.
 
Check out Charnell’s tip on budgeting:
 
“The key to a great budget and realistic savings goal is knowing exactly what your expenses are. Start by writing down how you spend money each day.
 
Fixed expenses are consistent in their timing and amount, while variable expenses are those that change or are unpredictable. Figuring these things out is the first step toward taking control of your finances.”

Today’s Money Management topic is saving.

Many of us know that putting a little bit to the side for a rainy day is the right thing to do, but doing it is not always easy. We asked Charnell Thweat of CPT Consulting how the average person can be better at saving. Here are her thoughts:

“Creating a savings plan helps people to achieve their savings goal. These plans traditionally have several components: what you are saving for, an amount, a timeline, and a method to earn the money needed. The 50-30-20 budgeting strategy has a saving plan built right in that is easy to manage. You can even go the extra step to have your savings automatedly deposited in your savings account to save you time.”

So tell us, what is the hardest thing about saving money for you? What do you need help with?
