The Reason We Interview Our Members
Tuesday, May 05, 2015
We ask our members a lot of questions, and for good reason. For starters, it’s easier! The "interviews" you take after your online banking session or on your mobile phone remove the "one size fits all" hassle of traditional advertising and help us get members the products they need, when they need them. The average interview takes only about 12 seconds whereas a typical banner ad involves navigating 3 to 4 landing pages that can take more than a minute. That’s an extra 48 seconds you can spend watching cat videos on YouTube! We value members’ time, so we try to simplify the online listening process as much as we can.
A Modest Living

Sometimes we speak of “living below our means” as if it is an arduous practice that requires us to stifle our desires and make tough decisions about what we should not buy. This is one way to look at it but when it comes to budgeting there is a much easier perspective to take. Living modestly because you want to.

Kicking Costly Colds to the Curb
Monday, April 06, 2015
I lace up, pull the door closed behind me, deeply breathe in the air, and take the first step of what will ultimately set the pace for a run. When I first got into running some years back, I did it whenever I felt like “blah.” Sorry for the lack of a descriptive word, but 
“blah” is really the emotion I felt that triggered a desire to run. Not only would running help lift my mood and make me feel better about those cheese tots I had at lunch, it was free and could be done anywhere I started feeling the blahs creeping up. Gradually, I ran more regularly throughout the week and longer and nowadays, I try and run at least 4 times a week. Running clears my head, gives me energy, and provides a great beginning or closure to the day.
