Did you know that the current design of the U.S. flag was created by a high school student? In 1958, 17-year-old Robert G. Heft designed the 50-star flag for a school project, and his design was later adopted as the official flag in 1960! Today, we celebrate the red, white, and blue and the history it represents! Do you fly your flag at home or at your office? We'd love to see a photo in the comments!

💪 Financial Fitness WOD (Word of the Day) - Share Certificate

A share certificate is a savings product offered by credit unions that provides a fixed interest rate for a specified term. Think of a share certificate as a financial "workout plan" that locks in your money for a set period, ensuring you earn a steady return without any risk. It's like committing to a long-term fitness regimen that guarantees results over time.

🏀 Coach's Tip: To optimize your financial fitness, consider building a share certificate ladder. This strategy involves investing in multiple certificates with varying maturity dates. As each one matures, you can reinvest the principal and interest into a new shared certificate. This approach provides regular access to your funds while maximizing interest earnings over time. Just like diversifying your workouts keeps you fit and flexible, a share certificate ladder helps balance liquidity and returns, steadily growing your wealth.
