Money & Mental Health

When we toss around the credit union motto: “People Helping People,” we’re not just spouting off a catchy tagline. At SPC Credit Union, we’re serious about our commitment to YOU—yes, YOU! No matter what stage of life you’re in or what your financial snapshot looks like, we want our relationship with you to be more than transactional; we want it to be transformational.

That’s why we’re taking the opportunity during Mental Health Awareness Month to shed light on the connection between mental health and financial health. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the amount of debt you have piling up, don’t know where to start as a first-time homebuyer, or just need someone to help you make sense of your money, we’re here to partner with you and cheer you on towards your goals.

Imagine how much stress you could kick to the curb if you could just make some sense of your spending—and saving. Better yet, why imagine it when you could experience it?! There’s no catch—and no secret—to making this happen. All it takes is one visit, phone call, or video chat with one of our team members, and you’ve completed step one of your journey towards financial freedom. That’s easy enough, right? (Right!)

As you travel further down the path to financial freedom, you’ll find that getting your finances in line is just about as good as getting a double scoop of ice cream when you only paid for one—you’ll see the benefits not only in your bank account but also in your body. Once you gain control of your money, don’t be surprised if you start sleeping better, thinking more clearly, and stressing less. These are just a few of the “side effects” people often experience when their financial situation shifts from dreary to dreamy.

Whenever you’re ready to transform the way you manage your money, we’re here for you—because “People Helping People” is just how we roll.
