With student loans, medical bills, and credit card debt, my finances were a mess. I had a ho-hum bank account (barely any interest, tons of bank fees) and I didn\u2019t even want to think about my credit score, let alone look at it.\n\nWhen my old clunker finally broke down and I had to get a new car, that\u2019s when I was forced to confront my financial reality. Applying for an auto loan was a sobering process, and being offered a double-digit interest rate was the wake-up call.\n\nThere were some simple money moves I made that helped me right track my finances. And even today, with my credit score nearly 200 points higher, I am still always on the lookout for new or better ways to simplify my finances.\n\nHere are seven simple steps you can to make the most of your finances.\n

1. Clean Up Your Energy Habits<\/h2>\nWhen you sign up to become a clean energy customer with Arcadia, you'll save both money on your electric bill and\u00a0<\/em>the environment.\u00a0 Pretty great, huh?\n\nArcadia is the first nationwide energy service giving renters and homeowners access to clean energy and savings.\u00a0 Customers decide what kind of energy they want to support: solar, wind, or other renewable options.\n

2. Sign up with Mint Mobile<\/h2>\nGet an affordable mobile plan!\u00a0\u00a0Mint Mobile offers plans starting at $15 a month!

4. Get Started with Stash<\/h2>\nWith Stash, now you don\u2019t have to be a millionaire to make money in the stock market! Stash is for people who want to take charge of their financial futures but need a helping hand to get them started and to see them through their journey. Stash is also for the millions of Americans that have been overcharged and underserved by traditional banks, brokers, and investment advisors.\n\nStash offers options for customers to invest for their short and long-term goals, from saving for a home to saving for retirement. Customers can open an investment account and choose from over 70 curated stocks and investments that reflect their goals, interests, and personal beliefs.

Making small investments on a regular basis is the key to maximize your savings while taking the risk out of trying to time the market.\n\nStart with just $5 \u2013 and there is no minimum to start saving!
