Memorial Day Shopping Tips Prices are up, but your financial goals don’t have to take a backseat. As Memorial Day sales roll in, shop smart with these tips: - Stick to your essentials. Sales are tempting, but prioritize needs over wants. - Make a list & budget. Going in with a plan helps you avoid overspending. - Research before you buy. Don’t assume the sale price is the best deal—check around. - Avoid buy now, pay later traps. They can lead to more debt in the long run. - Think long-term value. If it won’t save you money or serve a real purpose, skip it. Every dollar counts—especially now. Spend wisely and stay focused on your financial future. #MemorialDaySavings #SmartSpending #FinanceFriday #SelfHelpCreditUnion

Self-Help is a family of nonprofit organizations whose mission is to create and protect ownership and economic opportunity for all. Since Self-Help's founding in 1980, it has grown to include two credit unions, a loan fund, and a research and policy development group that supports those outside of the economic mainstream. Specifically, we: * Help borrowers build wealth by providing fair and responsible mortgages and small business loans in North Carolina, California and other parts of the nation. * Strengthen under-served communities by financing affordable housing, childcare centers, public charter schools, faith-based organizations, and community-focused commercial real estate projects. * Research and report on financial markets to support policies and industry practices that lower the cost of poverty and promote ownership.
