Member Testimonial

Testimonial

My younger daughter lives in Portland OR and still banks at Metrum through the shared ‘branch’ services.  In part that’s because it makes it easier for us to lend her money when needed, but it’s also because she knows that Metrum will always help her with her financial needs — even when she’s halfway across the country.

I have been with Metrum for a long time and have always been able to work with the same people. It’s just a luxury to know the people that handle something as important as your money.

Metrum employees have always helped above and beyond and I have had several interesting occasions to need it!

Step 5: Manage Your System

The fifth and final step in developing an effective spending plan is to commit to manage your system for the long term. The key to any successful spending plan is to get into the habit of managing a system that works for you.

  • Track expenses regularly
  • Pay bills regularly
  • Balance your checking (spending) account monthly
  • Review goals annually or after major life change
  • Does your spending plan fit with your goals?

As you can see, you need to start with the end in mind—always keep your goals in mind as you develop your road map for spending.

Remember-

  • Set SMART goals by making them specific, measurable, adjustable, realistic, and time-oriented.
  • Try several tracking methods and then use the one that works for you.
  • Use spending plan work sheets and the cash-flow statement to help you reach your goals.
  • Give yourself an annual checkup and make adjustments as necessary.
