Managing money doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re a driver, dispatcher, or support staff—these tips can help you stay in control of your finances.
1. Track Your Spending
Use a notebook, spreadsheet, or phone app. You’d be surprised how fast small daily purchases add up.
2. Pay Yourself First
Set up an automatic transfer to savings on payday—even $25. Build the habit before you build the amount.
3. Stay Out of Credit Card Trouble
If you don’t pay it off in full each month, you’re feeding the bank, not your future. Use credit carefully.
4. Build a Buffer Fund
Aim for $500–$1,000 in savings so you’re ready when life throws a curveball—like a blown tire or doctor visit.
5. Invest in Stocks, Not Toys
A new gadget feels good for a week. An investment grows for years. Buy shares of good companies instead of clutter.
