Money Matters

#MoneyMasterClass Recap–Week 15

A Few Truths

Gail started the week sharing a few of her tidbits of wisdom.

HISAs and Interest Rates

Gail already had us looking for High Interest Savings Accounts (HISAs) with good interest rates and she had instructed us to move our money to get it working harder for us, but she reminded us of the importance of this again this week.

Participants shared some of their banks and their HISA interest rates in this tweet.

Personal Economy

The focused turned, as last week did, to the concept of our personal economy.

Gail clarified what a “strong financial foundation” meant in a tweet.

A strong financial foundations includes the following:

1. A budget that YOU KNOW balances
2. No consumer debt
3. A car loan that’s not longer than 5 yrs
4. An emergency fund — 6 months of essential expenses
5. A curveball account
6. Enough / right kind of insurance
7. An up to date Will & POA for financial/medical
