A5) Life has a way of bringing surprises—some are good and others may be a challenge. With a “rainy day” or emergency fund, you have more options as to your options for dealing with those events.

A2: New savers can create an excel sheet to budget their monthly payments and bills. Get rid of your automatic payment systems, so you don’t get hit with overdraft fees. Use a banking app to help you keep track of your expenses. #ASW2020 #CTSaves

Keep in mind that not everyone has your well being in mind.
When saving or paying down debt, it's easy to fall for "get-rich-quick" schemes. BBB has a free ScamTracker tool to help you avoid falling victim to one. bbb.org/scamtracker/us/ #CTSaves
Financial planners and advisers need to be properly registered to offer you investments. Verify their status at ct.gov/dob and beware of smooth talking swindlers. #ctsaves

A2. Start by setting goals. Think about short term and long term. Be specific. Define what you want to happen & by what date. Identify how much $ it will take to achieve. #ctsaves
