Saving money can help you prepare for unexpected expenses, reach your goals, and feel more confident about your financial future. But did you know there are different types of savings accounts, each with its own benefits?

4 Types of Savings Accounts to Consider:

Traditional Savings Account
This is a basic savings account offered by many banks and credit unions. It's a simple place to keep money for emergencies or upcoming expenses while earning a small amount of interest. This type of savings account can be helpful when you need to access your money quickly.

High-Yield Savings Account
This is similar to a traditional savings account, but it typically offers a higher interest rate. This can be a great option for building an emergency fund or saving for a future goal while keeping your money accessible (typically takes a few days to transfer).

Money Market Account
This type of account combines features of savings and checking accounts. Depending on the bank, it may offer competitive interest, check-writing privileges, or a debit card. Some accounts have minimum balance requirements or transaction limits. Before opening an account like this, you may want to speak with a financial advisor to see if this is the best option for you.

Certificate of Deposit (CD)
This is a savings option where you deposit money for a set period, such as 6 months, 1 year, or longer. You typically earn a fixed interest rate, but withdrawing money early may result in a penalty. This can work well for money you don't need right away.

Your financial wellness challenge for this week is to take 10 minutes to review your current savings account(s). Compare its interest rate, fees, and features with other options. Even small steps toward saving can make a difference over time!

Remember, you don't have to save a large amount to get started. Start where you are, set a realistic goal, and build from there.

📣 Join us for our next NAMI at Noon - Nov. 19 at 12pm!

Contrary to popular belief, the most common form of domestic violence is sibling abuse. It is also one of the least recognized forms of familial abuse. Dysfunction within the family can create environments where sibling abuse thrives. Join us for a discussion with journalist and author Lauren Krouse, who uses her own experience and the researched experiences of dozens of others to write about the complexities of sibling abuse. We’ll discuss why sibling abuse is so underreported, what family dynamics may exacerbate sibling relationship dysfunction, and how survivors can find hope, healing, and sometimes even reconciliation.

SNEAK PEEK ALERT:

We are very much in the beginning stages of preparing. Still clearing the space of items so we can move our items in.

And then we still need to do a thorough cleaning to ensure our folks are coming into a space that has been provided thoughtful preparation.

But one of the spaces I am most excited about is this dining area.

If you have served or stayed with us before, you’re aware that the spaces we have utilized for dining areas before were also the spaces where folks were sleeping.

Not anymore.

This is where our neighbors will be served a meal by other neighbors. Where resources can be made available for people to access to help bridge them to their next journey.

We are very much undergoing many changes as this transition occurs. I know we have had many people ask about donating items and such. And until I can get all of our items to the new location, I am unsure of what we need or where we will store things.

We currently are working on restructuring our staffing model. And as soon as that is developed, we will make announcements.

Until we get the structure in place, I will be unable to do volunteer trainings and recruitment.

This is all a process and I appreciate you all so much for your patience.

We are excited and eager. But moving forward with true intentionality.
