Start 2024 with extra cash in your wallet!
As we leave the season of giving, and enter the season of new year resolutions – we all share one thing in common. Money. All those gift cards you received over the holidays, the gift cards you have stored in your junk drawer in the kitchen or foyer, the ones you find in wallets you haven’t used in months – all those funds could be in your pocket and out of the plastic it’s contained on. With that being said, Prepaid2Cash is challenging YOU. We challenge you to take your finances by the reins and take control of your endless possibilities. We challenge you to start a savings account, go on a vacation, or not worry about having to choose between gas and groceries.
We are challenging you to incorporate one of these 3 habits into your lifestyle, to not only benefit you but to benefit your wallet too:
- Budget Like a Boss
You know that budget you’ve been trying to create for years now, well this is the year to get it kickstarted. Just because the world is struggling, doesn’t mean you have to. This could be the year you finally start getting your finances in order, so that you can buy your dream home, your dream car, or maybe that expensive bag you’ve been wanting all these years. Maybe you’re budgeting so you can afford to buy cute coffees every morning instead of making them at home. Or maybe you just want to have that emergency fund or rainy day account to finally take a much-needed stress-free vacation. Whatever the case is, a budget could help! And don’t forget that having a budget, allows you to be ready for the unexpected such as a family emergency, a pipe bursting in your home, or your car needing repairs. It can also assist you in building your retirement fund – who knows, you could retire 10 years early with the right budget plan, all you have to do is start!
- Put your bills on Autopay
Now that you have some extra funds from those straggling gift Cards, use that money to pay off some debt or bills so you can stay ahead of the game and on time! Placing some bills on auto-pay removes stress from your plate and makes you look great to lenders. And in some cases, there’s the potential for your credit score to benefit too! Some auto-pay accounts when paid on time, allow for your credit score to grow when consistent. And we all know that with a good credit score, the doors open to new cars, new houses, and new opportunities. Let’s also not forget that by placing bills on autopay you remove the possibility of receiving a late fee! Those suckers can add up and put a dent in our finances.
- Set Savings Goals
The Prepaid2Cash team knows it can be hard to start a savings account when you’re tight on cash, which is why we encourage you to release those funds from the gift cards you’ll NEVER use. Those funds can be the start of a savings account where all you have to do is sit back and watch it grow! How cool is that? Your gift cards could serve a much larger purpose than just shopping at a store you know you’d never go into before receiving that card. Not to mention all the benefits that can come when creating financial goals, Intrust Bank brought some insights into how it can benefit you specifically. The world is always changing, and things are always maneuvering so why not be prepared? By setting financial goals, you are ready for anything including emergencies that we can’t prepare for! You could even pay off some of that student loan debt that’s been burdening you for the past few years. Or maybe you’re getting married next year, and want to take that honeymoon you’ve been dreaming about since you were a kid. There are so many benefits and so many possibilities to where these goals could take you!
Now you’re probably wondering how you can achieve these goals with gift cards, but the answer is simple: you can trade those unwanted cards for cash from home. Simply use the Prepaid2Cash app to make the exchange.
