Summer Money Diaries: Real Costs, Real Choices

Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing and Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, hosts Grant Gallagher and Ali Eddy discussed tracking their personal expenses over the past week, including what surprised them and what they learned about budgeting.

Following the main discussion, the team answers a question from the member mailbag. Grant pulls the following submission: I’d like to set a budget, but I feel like my expenses are constantly changing. My electric bill has been all over the place; I’ll have lots of social plans to pay for one month, and then nothing the next. How do I stay consistent month to month?

Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s Cash Back Plus Checking Account. Earn up to 10% in cash back on debit card purchases, get refunds on ATM withdrawal fees, and manage your money with zero monthly maintenance fees.
