For young people it may be difficult to get approved for your first loan or credit card. When you finally decide that you are ready to take on the responsibility of using a credit card or a loan the lender is going to pull your credit report. Your credit report tracks all of your late or on time payment history. When you turn 18 you are eligible to apply for loans, however it may be difficult to get approved because you will not have any credit history. Sometimes having no credit is just as bad as having poor credit. One thing you may want to consider to help building credit is to apply for a share secured loan. A share secured loan is a great way to give a young adult financial responsibility. Then loan is secured by the money in your savings account. Make your payments on time and only pay the amount that is due each month. Keep the loan for the entire term. This will show lenders that you can make on time monthly payments and you can handle debt responsibly. Stop by or call your nearest FCFCU center today to get more information!

Young people don't like asking for cash and honestly who likes using it? We want our teens to have access to funds but are they ready for the responsibility of a credit card? A Financial Center Debit Card could be the solution.
A Visa debit card works the same as using cash or writing a check and deducts the money from your checking account. A debit card is a great way for your teen to learn to manage their money responsibly. If you have a teen going away to college you can easily transfer money into their account so that they can use their debit card to purchase all of their college necessities!
As the end of the school year is quickly approaching I am sure most of us have nailed down some summer plans that will surely keep us busy until the beginning of the next school year. Your summer plans may include family vacations, preparing for college, summer school, or sport camps. Many young people may also be busy working over summer break. Perhaps you have a part time job where you can work more hours over the summer. Maybe start your own lawn mowing business to bring in some extra summer cash.
What ever your plan is to earn money this summer, develop a savings plan! The general rule of thumb is to follow the 70-20-10 rule. Spend 70% of the money you earn, save 20% and invest 10%. Believe me, saving is very difficult for many of us because that means we have to make sacrifices when it comes to our wants. For example, if you make $100 a week this summer try to only spend $70 of each pay check and save the remaining money. You will be amazed at how fast it adds up! Also track and evaluate your spending- where is all of your money going? Decide how much you want to put into savings each paycheck and stick to it!
Keep your self busy this summer working hard at building up your savings account! Savings accounts are an excellent safe place to keep your money. Visit your nearest Financial Center to set up your savings account and start today!
