Pay Off Your Debt

Facing the burdens of student loans, credit card balances, and car payments can be overwhelming. This year, take care of your debt once and for all. Your priority should be to pay off any lingering debt in the collections. If you have active credit accounts, consider adopting a method that best fits your financial situation. The avalanche method of taking on high-interest debt first, or the snowball method, which focuses on paying off the smallest debts first. For Remynters, we have a handy debt repayment planning tool to determine the best game plan for your finances.

Save for the Unexpected

Life has unexpected twists, such as surprise medical bills or car breakdowns. That is when your emergency fund becomes a lifesaver. Maintaining a financial cushion that covers up to six months' worth of living expenses is invaluable in unexpected situations. Consider setting up automatic transfers to a high-yield savings account, and your emergency fund will grow steadily. Having savings provides a sense of readiness for the day when life throws a curveball.

Earn Extra Cash with Gig Work

Gig work can be a savvy move to boost income. The gig economy is full of opportunities; whether freelancing, driving, or selling online, the possibilities are limitless. Align the best side hustle with your skills and schedule. You can find gig work on multiple online platforms. Upwork links you to clients who require assistance in a variety of projects. Fiverr is another platform where you can boast about your skills to find gigs. Become a driver with Uber or Lyft, both popular ride-sharing platforms. You can also join groups on Facebook where gig opportunities are shared. Whether you look to bolster your savings, pay off debt, or invest, the additional income from your gig can come in handy.
