5 Tips to Strengthen Your Finances Amid Economic Uncertainty

Take a close look at your finances to understand where your money is going and make cuts if needed. Create a list of assets, debts, and upcoming expenses.

Try a "no spend" month or use the 50/30/20 budget rule to prioritize needs versus wants and force savings.

Pay down high-interest credit card debt aggressively. Look into 0% balance transfer offers.

Think long-term and continue saving for retirement, even amid uncertainty. Time in the market is key.

Get help lowering payments if needed - through income-based repayment plans, credit counseling, or negotiating with creditors.
