Hi there,

Last month I announced our goal to offer you Loans for All Seasons and All Reasons! If you are still wavering on whether or not to open a loan or get a credit card don’t wait any longer. Establishing credit now is a great way to prepare for the future. Check out this video or head over to the website to learn more about all of the loans we have available. Whether you want to go to school, get a new car, or just establish your credit, we are here for you and are ready for whatever reason or season you are in!

I’ve shared this video before on my blog, but I think it serves as a great reminder. Recently, my dad’s credit card information was hacked into. Thankfully no money was spent before the account was frozen and the card disabled. Check out this video to keep in mind some simple tricks you can do to try to prevent yourself from being targeted. Also, seriously consider investing in Lifelock. As a credit union member, you can receive discounts to protect yourself against identity theft with LifeLock.

The Alabama summer has hit and it isn’t going away anytime soon. We want to help you cool off this summer by giving away two free tickets to Alabama Splash Adventure in Birmingham, AL. Head over to my Facebook page to enter. All you have to do is:

1. Like the Young & Free Alabama Facebook page
2. Sign up for the E-update on the website and
3. Comment on the Contest post answering what type of water park person are you?

It’s as easy as that! You can also have an extra entry by posting a picture on Instagram describing your favorite summer activity with #YoungFreeSummer.

I’ve had many people tell me that one person cannot change the world. This is far from the truth, one person can change the world, but it can’t happen over night. It can only happen one bucket at a time. Just like saving money. We can’t expect to have thousands of dollars saved over night. It takes one bucket and one dollar at a time. Check out my blog to learn more about this crazy concept!

I hope you are having a great summer! If you have any blog ideas or things you would like for me to write about, let me know. I want to make sure I am helping you as much as I can. Don’t forget to enter the Alabama Splash Adventure contest. It’s going to be a fun time. For more giveaways and tips follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook! Until next time.

See ya,

Jeremiah Stone
