What they’re saying

“When people talk about debt, it causes some worry. I always encourage people to give themselves some grace as they work through their debt. Take it one step at a time.”

— Kevin Horne, Consumer Banking Manager (CBS-42)

“Once you have a good foundation, money management becomes fun. Start with a simple, realistic, financial game plan. Think about what you want to accomplish for the year. Pick one or two specific priorities that you want to focus on during the year. Set the goal and then break them down into doable weekly or monthly actions.”

— Jason Allen, Chattanooga Market Executive (The Pulse)

“Not everyone's financial plan is the same. So having tailored guidance and insights is critical for the different stages in life.”

— Jason Allen, Chattanooga Market Executive (WDEF-TV)

“Some people have long-term savings goals and need a little more advanced help. Things like paying more than the minimum payment due is a great way to pay debt down faster so more money goes toward meeting that savings goals.”

— Tricia Johnson, Branch Manager (WTSP-10)

“I recommend creating a spending plan, also known as a budget. Sometimes people don't like that word. It doesn't mean that you can't spend your money on what you want, but having a plan in advance of where you are going to spend that money helps keep you on track.”

— LaToya Herring, Branch Manager (WALA-TV)
