Healthy financial habits

Stay Up to Date: Read the news to learn what's happening with financial fraud and have regular conversations with friends and family to stay safe together.
Secure Personal Information: Never share sensitive information, like your Social Security number or bank details, with anyone unless absolutely necessary. Use strong, unique passwords for all of your online accounts.
Establish a Family Safe Word: Create a shared word that only your family knows. If anyone calls claiming to be a family member in trouble, ask for the word first. No word, no wire.
Check In Regularly: Come together as a family to discuss financial health once a month or quarter.
Gather Emergency Contacts: Collect important contact information you'd need if you fell victim, including local law enforcement, credit bureaus, your bank, and the FTC.
