Five Things to do in January
It's no surprise that January is a big month for making resolutions. And if you've been making resolutions for a while, you know how many of them fall by the wayside before February. 
 
We have suggested resolutions that are different in two ways-they're in the 'set and forget' category, and they can make your life so much easier that you're likely to keep them. 

SAVE THE DATE!  

Annual Meeting

Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 5:30 p.m.

4651 Emerson Street

Join us as we recap the 2011 year and share what Coastline has planned for 2012. Light refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to marketing@coastlinefcu.org.

Open A Christmas Club and Avoid a Holiday Hangover Next Season
It is never too early to start saving for next year. If credit card bills from the holidays leave you overwhelmed, we can help. A Christmas Club account preserves the joy of the holidays by eliminating the financial stress of the season. Instead of charging everything at the last minute, save in advance for holiday spending. Determine what you spent last year and add a portion of that to your account each month. Or, have an amount deducted directly from your paycheck.

To avoid a credit card hangover next holiday season, contact a Member Service Representative today to open a 2012 Christmas Club account!
It Still Makes Sense to Buy a House
If you bought a house in the early 1980s, you likely can't believe how low home loan rates are today. Federal Reserve records indicate the 30-year fixed rate was an astonishing 18.45% in October of 1981. Few borrowers took mortgages at that high rate, yet the average contract rate in November of 1981 was 15.8%. Those double-digit interest rates made home loans extremely expensive, and risky, 30 years ago.The picture today is radically different, with home loan rates less than 5%-where they have been for many months. And, in another plus for house hunters, there are many houses for sale-meaning it is a buyer's market.

The weak economy understandably leaves some prospective homeowners reluctant to make such a big financial commitment. Some analysts even have gone so far as to diminish the desirability of owning a home anymore. They suggest that, since houses are not appreciating as they were four or five years ago, the investment is no longer prudent.

That's a short-sighted viewpoint. Click here for many very sound reasons to buy a house.
