Car shopping? Here’s a bit of advice. Give Nancy a call anytime to assist you with your car buying process & to get you pre-approved.

No, not every dealership is out to get you — but enough of them are playing games that you need to know the signs!
• If they ask "What monthly payment are you looking for?"
Don't answer. This is how they shift your focus away from the total cost and into a payment that sounds manageable — but may cost you more in the long run.
• If the car you came to see has "just been sold"...
You may be looking at a classic bait-and-switch. Suddenly, you're being steered toward something more expensive. Convenient, right?
• If they're pushing an extended warranty hard...
Pause. Many people never get their money's worth on thsoe.
• If they try to bundle financing with the price of the car...
Big no. These are two completely separate negotiations — and mixing them is how things get murky (and more expensive!)
The smartest move you can make happens before you step onto the lot.

Buying a new or used car can be an intimidating experience, which is why it's so important to go in armed with all the facts, and to shop your financing (i.e. car loan) with as much effort as you do the car itself. It's important to understand: You are not locked into financing from your dealer. In fact, you'll have an edge if you come in to shop with financing from another source. One of the best places to start your rate-shopping journey is at your local credit union. Credit unions across the country have some of the best auto loan rates — for used cars as well as new. After chatting with your credit union, you can search for the best rates using rate comparison tools offered from sites like Bankrate and LendingTree. Once your homework is done, you'll have several rates in hand and can compare them all to make sure you're getting the best deal.
Here's a primer on buying your first car: https://ow.ly/lEo250Z4pvk.

A budget doesn’t have to be difficult. Check out some tips on simplifying a budget & how to stick to it.

If you've ever "started a budget" and abandoned it two weeks later... you're in very good company.
The problem usually isn't you — it's the system you've chosen.
Most budgets fail because they're too complicated, too rigid, or too disconnected from real life. But here's the good news: the simpler your budget, the more likely you are to stick with it.
Start with awareness (what's coming in and going out), then choose a system that fits your life, whether that's 50/30/20, a "backwards budget," or something in between.
No spreadsheets required. Just clarity, flexibility, and a plan that actually works. Here's a look: https://ow.ly/HcrT50Z1kxN.
