INSIDE DHS SELF-CARE, AUGUST 2014 - CASH IN

(MUSIC PLAYS) 

Here's a secret to keeping your piggy bank full - use cash. 

Paying with credit and debit cards for everyday purchases allows spending to feel imaginary. Costs don't feel real. Before long, your piggy bank is starving and you don't know where it all went. 

Allotting yourself a set amount of cash based on your budget per week forces awareness of the real cost of living. Once you know where it's going, setting up even a small system of weekly saving offers the option to enjoy funds that would have just slipped away. 

Being on top of your finances reduces stress and opens up new possibilities. The Employee Assistance program includes visits with financial specialists if you'd like some help getting on track.
