Whether your plans include cruising the ocean or cruising down to the local pool, here are two suggestions to manage your finances while enjoying the season. 

### Make Room in Your Budget

Get some relief by skipping a loan payment. You can skip a month on a qualified loan for just $25. This is especially useful if your income normally goes down in the summer or your expenses go up. It doesn't affect your credit score. See details at [www.hfcu.org/skip. ](http://www.hfcu.org/skip)

### Open a Your Way Savings Account

Plan ahead for next year by putting aside $5 to $500 a month at an outstanding rate. Your funds will build throughout the year so you can hit the beach or the barbecue and keep your budget intact. Visit [Your Way savings account](https://www.hfcu.org/bank/checking-accounts/your-way-accounts_and_services.html) to check out today’s rate and get started.
