As we begin 2020, now is the perfect opportunity to make a plan and get your finances in order. Simple strategies can be an effective way to ensure financial success for the year to come, and there’s no better time to enact these financial resolutions than at the start of the year.

In today’s blog, we explore some simple ways to give your finances a refresh – to help maximize both your savings and your overall Enable experience:

Set an Attainable Goal
This year, in addition to creating and consistently re-evaluating your 2020 budget, set a particular financial goal to help motivate your savings efforts. Whether this be a certain amount saved – even if it is a small amount – or saving up for a specific item or experience, outline your goal and the tactics you’ll use to achieve it.  

Do Your Research  
Knowledge helps empower better financial decisions, which is why it’s important to fully understand what is considered a qualified withdrawal. Read up on what your Enable account can cover, for the list may be more expansive than you think. Click here to explore the full list of qualifying expenses.

Additionally, there are several websites that may offer discounts and free services for individuals with disabilities, so before making any purchases check to see if you are eligible for any additional savings.

Utilize the Automatic Investment Plan (AIP)
The Automatic Investment Plan is a great option to consider if you do not already have automatic contributions set up. This feature allows Account Owners to schedule recurring contributions to their Enable account, setting the stage for a hands-off yet consistent approach to savings. With AIP, you can focus on engaging with other day-to-day responsibilities while remaining assured that your savings are taken care of. Click here to learn more.
