Alan delivers a brief financial message tying the 4th of July to "financial Independence Day" and outlines four money moves: set and maintain a budget; pay off high-interest debt first; build credit by making payments on time; and prioritize buying investment assets over consumer goods.

Alan Akina shows us one way that may save you money in the long run.
Good morning, gang. Tomorrow we celebrate Independence Day, or the 4th of July. Now, this federal holiday commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence that took place on July 4th, 1776. Now, this is the day that our country declared its independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Now, my suggestion for you is to declare today as your own financial Independence Day. Independence from the shackles of debt and financial stress. Make a commitment to focus on your financial life. Now, to help you with this, I've compiled four simple money moves that can help you to claim your financial independence. Number one, set and maintain a budget. Two, pay off your debt starting with the one that carries the highest interest rate. 3, build your credit by making all of your payments on time. And number 4, focus on buying investment assets and not stuff. For Wake Up Today, I'm Alan Akina. See you on Monday.
Thank you, Alan.
