🦁🐒 A little fun outside the office!

A few weeks ago, our LLCU team members and their families enjoyed a day at the zoo. There were plenty of animal sightings, family time and plenty laughs along the way.

We’re grateful for the people who make LLCU what it is, and we love getting the chance to celebrate our team and their families beyond the workplace!

Advice I wish I knew at 18

It’s easy to overspend anywhere you go, even the grocery store.

Make a grocery list and stick to it! Avoid those items on the end caps and “special deals” you didn’t plan on.

The small impulse purchases can really impact your opportunity to save more.

Money 101: Ask Before You Sign
Free trial? Credit card? Student loan? Apartment lease? Subscription?

Before you sign up, make sure you know what you're agreeing to.

Ask:
-What will this cost me?
-Is there interest or a fee?
- When do I have to pay?
-What happens if I change my mind?

If you don't understand the answer, ask someone who does.

There’s no prize for figuring everything out the hard way.

When it comes to your money, questions are always worth asking.

Advice I wish I knew at 18

Something I would go back and tell my college-self is:
“In the moment, it is really easy to sign up for student loans and have fun with the money you earn during college. But then you get out of college and see how all those student loans added up to a bigger balance than you expected.”

If you’re working while in college, consider putting as much of that income toward tuition and expenses as you can. A little sacrifice now could mean less student loan debt and less stress about your finances while starting your career.
