RATE HIKES/COST OF LIVING - SURVIVAL TIPS FOR MANAGING RAPID PRICE INCREASE AND DEFLATION

It is no secret that the cost of living has drastically gone up in the last few years. Prices have gone up in every aspect from groceries to the skyrocketing price of gas to interest rate hikes.

At YNCU, we know that you may be looking for advice on how to manage your money during times of rising costs.

SHARING RESOURCES: EXPLORING RACIAL INEQUALITY & MONEY

Wealth is about more than a paycheck — it refers to the sum of financial assets and physical possessions owned by an individual or family. Less wealth means more challenges with homeownership, investment opportunities, student loans or the ability to pass accumulated wealth down to future generations. 

SAVING SMART FOR ALL STAGES OF LIFE

There are plenty of major milestones in life that we can look forward to. Whether it’s graduating from post-secondary education, buying a house, getting married or retiring after years of a fulfilling career, we all need to plan accordingly. All of these major steps in life often require some financial planning to ensure you can effectively fund your dreams and maintain your financial health.
