Want to Become a Millionaire?

Have you ever dreamed of being a millionaire? Do you know anyone who has made millions of dollars? It may seem like a difficult goal to achieve, but if you save your money and invest it well, anyone can become a millionaire.

Follow these important strategies to start making moolah:

* Start now. The sooner you begin saving, the quicker you can make your dreams come true.

* Consistency is the key to building your savings. A good habit is to save at least 10% of everything you earn.

* Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Think long term for your future goals--college, a car, a home--and short term for other expenses.

* Look for a high rate of return. For instance, regular savings accounts pay lower interest than share certificates or certificates of deposit (CDs), but you can access your funds in your savings account anytime. CDs require a minimum balance and restrict withdrawals to certain periods of time in return for higher dividend rates.

* Look for compounding interest, which means your earnings are reinvested. This is the key to building your fortune. The really big changes in your balance will occur in the later years--but only if you start early.

Youth Program

Did you know that our Youth Representatives spend time in many of the schools in Clinton County?

Michelle, and Genny supervise our Student Run Credit Union Branches at East Essex Elementary, East Olive Elementary, Eureka Elementary, Gateway Elementary, St. Joseph Catholic School, St. Peter Lutheran School, St. Johns Middle School, St. Johns High School, DeWitt High School, Ovid/Elsie High School and Leonard Elementary School.  They also teach literacy classes at Turning Point Behavioral Center and Michigan Works.

Does our Youth Program make a difference?  According to one student from Turning Point Behavioral Center, "I will know what to do with my money...I have learned how to invest" and he states he now has the skills to prepare for his financial future because of the lessons learned from our Youth Representatives.

If your school is not on our list, give us a call at (989) 224-9511.  Our Youth Department will be happy to show you how our program works.
