At Community Banks of Colorado, we're proud to be your financial partner and help you take control of your financial future. That's why we're participating in America Saves Week, an annual observance that aims to help you successfully stack up your savings. Save For Major Milestones: Saving for major milestones such as a wedding, homeownership, or retirement can feel staggering, but it doesn't have to be. Break your savings goal into smaller, more reasonable and actionable goals so that it doesn't feel as overwhelming. Save For The Unexpected: Saving Life happens when we're least expecting it. Establish an emergency fund to make unexpected life emergencies a little bit smoother. Typically, experts recommend 3-6 months of your monthly expenses saved. Stop by a Banking Center today and let us help you begin your savings journey!

National Youth Month Tip of the Week: Use a clear jar for savings instead of a piggy bank at home. Tell your children, “Once the money reaches the top, you can use that money to buy something you really want or need.” They will be able to monitor their progress, experience delayed gratification, and learn the importance of saving. #CUYouthMonth #EducateEmpowerEnrich
