Today officially marks the first day of Autumn…the Autumn Equinox!

Typically the temperatures start to drop around this time but in Northern Ireland we seem to be finally getting the summer weather we never had!  However, the cost-of-living crisis continues….

Why not consider setting aside a little extra each month.

Here are a few tips to help you get started:

  1. Review Your Budget: why not try a budgeting technique such as the 50/30/20 system. In addition, MoneySavingExpert.com provides a free budget planner tool.

  2. Set Savings Goals: Whether it’s for the holidays or a rainy day, having a clear goal can keep you motivated.

  3. Prepare for unexpected costs: you can save as little as £10 a month at Harp and Crown. Should you need us to help you with an unexpected cost, we offer lower interest rate loan options, members can borrow up to 5 x times their savings (subject to Ts and Cs). 

  4. Take Advantage of sales and discounts: Shop around for the best deals and start Christmas shopping early.
