Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing And Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, expert hosts Shawn Lubitz and Grant Gallagher discuss how you can effectively manage your budget this summer. Grant and Shawn kick-off the episode by providing an overview of Affinity’s annual “Cost of a Day at the Jersey Shore” index, discussing travel trends and how inflation will impact your wallet. Additionally, they share strategies for managing higher costs this summer.
Some additional topics included:
Following the main discussion, Grant pulled a submitted question from the member mailbag, and the team shared their responses: As I'm planning my summer vacation with my family, I'm finding it tough to figure out where to spend our money for the best value. I want to make sure we enjoy some special experiences, but I also need to keep an eye on our budget. What’s the best approach to balance splurging with saving, so we can have a memorable trip without breaking the bank?
Finally, Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s Cash Back Debit account, a great checking account where you can earn 1% cashback on purchases for up to $1,000 a month to help you earn more toward your financial goals.
