Financial Awareness Day: Embrace Financial Education

Did you know that it’s National Financial Awareness Day on August 14?

Financial Awareness Day is an annual event that aims to promote financial education and wellness. It involves having the knowledge and confidence to make informed financial decisions and effectively manage your finances.

Broaden your knowledge

Financial education isn’t just one lesson to learn, and you’re done. It’s a process - start by reading personal finance topics. CCCU has articles on budgeting, saving, debt management and investing in the form of blogs, emails and other free resources. And, if you want something quick to listen to in the car or while doing chores, we have a podcast you can subscribe to called The Perfect Bite. Check out this episode about Building Your Emergency Fund.

Review your financial situation

If you haven’t looked at your finances in a while, use this time as an opportunity to identify what aspects you want to improve. This step can help you plan for rainy days which can alleviate stress and debt accumulation.

Use the Financial Wellness Assessment to help you determine your financial strengths and weaknesses.

Plan for your future

One of the benefits of embracing financial education is it can also help you live a more fulfilling life, free from the stress and anxiety that typically comes with financial strain. Use this time to plan for your monthly budget, start to build an emergency fund or invest in your retirement plan.

Learn the seven tips for a secure future on our blog entitled, How to Prepare for Retirement Financially.

In conclusion, embracing financial education can help you make informed decisions and avoid financial problems. By taking the time to learn about your finances, you can achieve financial freedom and live a more fulfilling life. Follow CCCU on Facebook and Instagram for daily financial tips!

Commercial Member Daniel G.: CCCU Helped Me Expand My Business

Daniel G. has been a Clark County resident for sixteen years and a CCCU member since 2021. He is a real estate developer and entrepreneur and one of his businesses is the Aloft Hotel in Henderson.

Daniel initially joined CCCU when the country was recovering from the pandemic. He said, “CCCU was willing to step up and provide funding for hotel construction at a time when few lenders were willing to take the risk as the country was recovering from the pandemic. We knew we had a great location and product and I’m grateful for CCCU believing in us.”

Outside of work Daniel enjoys spending time with his family. “I have two young sons, 6 months and 3 years, as well as 3 adult sons.  My oldest son is an officer in the 75^th Ranger Regiment, my second oldest is an aspiring firefighter, and my 3^rd oldest is also in the process of joining the 75^th Ranger Regiment.  For our family, serving the community isn’t an obligation, it’s a blessing,” he says.

Daniel said that what sets CCCU apart from other lending institutions is the level of flexibility and service. “At the big banks, you’re just a number and good luck dealing with the same person month-to-month.” he said, “But at CCCU they understand you as a person and take the time to understand your business and your lending needs. I would recommend CCCU to others, Daniel Reese and his team stepped up and helped us out at a time nobody else would. I greatly appreciate the relationship and level of service received from the entire CCCU team.”

Thank you, Daniel, for your continued membership and your ongoing support of CCCU. We are proud to have you as part of Clark County Credit Union!
