In the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, our own Lewis Garvin spoke with GOBankingRates about how to prepare ahead of time for natural disasters: “Many people underestimate how quickly costs can pile up — from temporary housing to replacing damaged items — and this can lead to financial hardship,” said Lewis Garvin, Corporate Communications Manager at PenAir Credit Union. “Even saving a small amount consistently can build up over time, providing a safety net for unexpected events."

In this digital age, social media has become a go-to source for financial advice, but it's not without risks. A recent report by Edelman Financial Engines reveals that over a quarter of social media users have fallen for false or misleading financial information online, with those in their 30s being particularly vulnerable. This trend is concerning, especially as young adults face increasing financial challenges and debt. At PenAir, we understand the appeal of accessible financial advice, but we urge caution. While social media can offer insights, it's crucial to seek guidance from qualified professionals. We're here to provide reliable, personalized financial education and support. Don't let scrolling impact your financial decisions – reach out to us for trustworthy advice tailored to your unique situation. https://brnw.ch/21wNBGH
