As summer comes to a close and Labour Day signals the unofficial start of fall, many of us at OCU recognize the common financial concerns that arise this time of year. With back-to-school shopping behind us and students heading off to college, it’s easy to feel the financial strain. The start of fall is a perfect time to take stock of your financial situation and ensure you’re set up for success.
OCU’s CEO Greg Sol recently chatted with Brock Jackson at Bounce Radio about how to navigate some of those challenges.
Why Now is a Good Time to Reassess
While any time is a good time to talk finances, we understand that fall often triggers the need to refocus. Whether it’s lingering vacation expenses, unexpected back-to-school costs, or just the changing season, this time of year can be financially stressful for many people. With inflation still affecting household budgets, it’s important to address these concerns before they become overwhelming.
At OCU, we’re here to help our members and the wider community through these challenges. Financial advice can be overwhelming, especially when there’s a lot of information out there that may not apply to your situation. Getting expert guidance can make all the difference. We can provide accurate advice based on Canadian financial regulations and offer tailored banking solutions to meet your needs.
