“When setting up direct deposit, have at least 10% go into your savings account with each paycheck. A percentage ensures that the amount you’re saving each month is consistent with your wage/salary. It’s good to have your savings amount consistent with any increases in income!”
Valerie R.
TopLine Bloomington Branch Manager
“What's your current interest rate? You could refinance and save money on your monthly payment. TopLine offers low interest auto loans! With the extra saving you could start a Wincentive savings account!”

“Credit scores have become such a focus in our culture, and they are a good indicator of credit health. However, they do not indicate your overall financial health. The thing to remember is this: if you do what is smart for your long term-financial health, your credit score will follow.”

It can be hard to pay down your debt if your only making minimum payments each month. Create a debt action plan by paying down your smallest debts first. Start by making all of your minimum payments, then increase a modest amount to pay off your smallest debt. Once it’s paid off add the extra money you were paying to your next smallest debt. Stay encouraged and keep paying down that debt!
