🦃 Give Thanks, Save Smarter

November is here—and while you’re gearing up for family time, cozy food, and a break from school, it’s also the perfect time to think about gratitude and giving back.
This month, we’re talking about how being thankful, thoughtful, and smart with your money can go a long way.

Let’s make your savings—and your kindness—go further this season.

💡 Be Thankful for What You Have (and Save What You Can)

Sometimes we spend just because we can. But when you stop and appreciate what you already have—your favorite hoodie, your playlist, your hot cocoa stash—you realize you don’t need to buy more to feel good.

🧠 Try this:

• Go one week without spending anything.

• Instead of shopping, write down or share three things you’re grateful for each day.

• You’ll be surprised how much you save and how good you feel.

💛 Small Acts of Giving (Even on a Small Budget)

You don’t need to donate a million dollars to make a difference. Giving can look like:

• Helping a sibling with homework

• Donating old clothes or toys

• Baking something sweet and sharing with neighbors or friends

• Saving a few dollars to donate to a cause you care about

🎁 Remember: Giving feels good—and it doesn’t have to cost a lot.

🧠 Build Good Habits Before the Holiday Spending Hits

Black Friday and holiday sales are tempting… like, really tempting. So now’s the time to plan ahead.

📝 Try this:

• Make a wishlist of what you actually want or need

• Set a spending limit

• Use your TruEnergy Youth Account to stash away any birthday/holiday money and resist spending it all at once

✅ Challenge of the Month:

Do one free act of kindness and one smart money move.
Examples:

• Clean out your closet and donate what you don’t wear
