Grow My Savings – New Year's Priority Resolution

It's the new year and the time we think about the commitment to do things better, one way or another.  But then there’s the hard part – living up to our commitment!

One New Year’s resolution that may not be as hard to keep as you think is growing your savings. Saving money can be a challenge. It’s a lot more fun to spend it. But there’s a lot to be said for that good feeling you have when you see your nest egg flourish, knowing that you are the one who made it happen. It’s very gratifying and can be very rewarding.

Opening a savings account for as little as $25 dollars is a great way to get started and First Basin Credit Union is here to help.

You can open a basic savings account with a $25 minimum and become a First Basin Credit Union Member. You will benefit from interest paid and have access to opening other types of accounts. If you live, work or worship in the Permian Basin, you qualify for membership.

Get your kids on the right savings path by opening a Kidz Club Account, a great way to teach them the value and fun of saving money. Or open a Vacation Account and start planning that ultimate vacation your family has talked about for years. And while it may seem too soon to think about Christmas again, by opening a Christmas Account you can have automatic deductions pay into a savings account to give you a jump on holiday shopping resources.

The concept of saving money is not one that we understand from birth. Maybe you’ve been fortunate enough to have been raised with the concept; if so, congratulations on being a disciplined saver. If you’re new to the concept of saving don’t worry.  It’s never too late and a $25 investment in a savings account could easily grow into the thousands sooner than you may think. Why not get started and make this year a more abundant new year?
