I learned the hard way you have to shop around — I’ve had a savings account at my bank for almost a year now. That’s where I keep the money I’m saving for a new vehicle. I figured, might as well earn some interest on the money, right? Then as cash started piling up at my house to go towards my…

With inflation through the roof and the cost of groceries astronomical, it’s hard to focus on anything beyond that when it comes to setting financial goals. For many, their goal may be to somehow figure out a way to pay high rent prices and put food on the table. No…
