@Readygov A10. Pay yourself first. Set aside some money every time you get paid. Regular savings, even if only in small amounts, can make a big difference over time. #FinancialChat #FinancialFuture2019

@Readygov A6. In order to track your savings, start by tracking your spending. Record every transaction in a small notebook or use one of the many websites or apps available. #FinancialChat #FinancialFuture2019

@Readygov A6: If you participate in a workplace retirement plan, review the plan’s periodic investment information to make sure you’re on track to meet your retirement goals. This can have a real impact on how much your savings grow. dol.gov/sites/default/… #FinancialChat

@Readygov A2- We always recommend our service members and #militaryfamilies sit down with a personal financial manager at their local installation or speak with @Military1Source. #FinancialChat
