Get help meeting your financial goals this year

"Creating a budget is not about limiting your freedom; it's about giving you the freedom to achieve your dreams. By understanding where your money goes, you can make informed decisions that align with your financial goals and aspirations." - Myesha Brown, JPMorganChase Oakland community manager.

"One common financial mistake is not having a budget at all. Remaining in the dark about your spending can limit your ability to save for important goals like a car, a home or your retirement."

"Using guesswork when trying to allocate your monthly budget can lead to overestimating or underestimating how much to allot toward each budgeting category. This may set you up for failure."

"Get to know your spending by creating a monthly budget tracker. You can then review your spending patterns and adjust your budget accordingly for better financial management."
