Spring Clean Your Finances with Texans

Spring is a season of fresh starts, and your finances deserve a refresh, too! At Texans Credit Union, we’re here to help you tidy up your budget, reduce financial stress, and set yourself up for success. Here are some simple ways to give your money matters a good spring cleaning:

1. Refresh Your Budget

Life changes, and so should your budget! Have you started a new job, received a raise, or moved recently? Now’s a great time to adjust your spending plan to reflect your current goals.

Take a look at where your money is going. Are there any unused subscriptions or memberships you can cut? Trimming these expenses could free up extra cash for things that truly matter—like home improvements, an upcoming vacation, or your child’s education. Need help? We’re happy to sit down with you and review your budget together.

2. Declutter Your Debt

Debt can feel overwhelming, but tackling it step by step can make a big difference. Start by listing everything you owe, from credit cards to personal loans. Seeing the full picture will help you make a solid repayment plan.

If juggling multiple payments feels stressful, consider consolidating your debts with us. A lower interest rate and a single monthly payment could simplify your finances and help you pay off what you owe faster—freeing up more money for your future goals!

3. Automate Your Savings

If saving money feels like a challenge, let automation do the work for you! Set up automatic transfers to your savings account so you can build your emergency fund or work toward big financial dreams without thinking twice.

Speaking of savings, have you checked in on your emergency fund lately? If it needs a boost, consider putting extra cash into a high-yield money market account or a certificate of deposit (CD) for even better returns. We can help you find the best options for your financial goals!

4. Review Your Accounts

Spring is the perfect time to do a quick financial check-up. Make sure your account details, contributions, investment strategies, and beneficiaries are up to date—especially if you’ve had a major life change like getting married or welcoming a new family member.

If you have multiple accounts scattered across different banks, consider consolidating them with Texans Credit Union. Keeping your money in one place makes managing your finances easier, and we offer competitive rates, personalized service, and helpful tools to keep you on track.

Looking for an easy way to stay organized? Try using the Texans Credit Union mobile app — you're able to connect any outside accounts to help you keep track of everything all in one place. We have some great tools in the app to help you stay on top of your financial health!

5. Check In On Your Credit

Did you know you can check your credit report for free? Websites like AnnualCreditReport.com allow you to review your credit report at no cost—sometimes more than once a year.

Why does this matter? Errors on your report could be hurting your credit score, leading to higher interest rates on loans and credit cards. Catching and fixing mistakes could save you money in the long run. If you need guidance on reviewing your credit report or improving your score, we’re here to help!
