A little financial wizardry from our Lending Specialists can help you reclaim your peace of mind.

APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Rates, terms and conditions subject to change and may vary based on creditworthiness and qualifications. All loans subject to approval.

1) It is not guaranteed that consolidating multiple debts into a single monthly payment will result in a lower monthly payment or lower interest rate. Payment reduction may come from a lower interest amount, a longer-term loan, or a combination of both.

*Home Equity/2nd Mortgage: Rates effective as of 1/1/2026. Rate offered for secured, new money loans only, for terms of 60 months. Collateral insurance required. Payment example: For a $25,000 dwelling secured loan for a term of 60 months at 5.77% APR, the monthly payment will be $480.70. Debt protection is available. Applicants will be responsible for cost of appraisal if required. Available for residences located in Nebraska and Pottawattamie County in Iowa. All payments calculated with loan-to-value of 80%. The actual amount of your loan will be determined by the amount of equity in collateral. Rates are higher for LTV over 80% or terms greater than 60 months. Terms up to 180 available. Must have FNCU checking account with direct deposit and automatic loan payment. Members without a checking account, direct deposit and automatic loan payment may receive a slightly higher rate (.25%). Credit qualifications and other restrictions may apply. Actual rate and monthly payment amount may vary. Payment examples do not include amounts for taxes and insurance premiums, if applicable, the actual payment obligation will be greater.

Do This, Not That – Plan Your 2026 Finances with Ease

Donations for Children’s Nebraska

In 2025, we teamed up with Credit Union for Kids to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network, and that money goes directly to Children’s Nebraska hospital in Omaha. We are happy to announce that the total amount given was $5,706.79.

Thanks to the help from the Nebraska Credit Union League, members were able to request personalized letters from Santa, which were sent to the children.
In December, our staff did a 50/50 raffle, and the winner gave all of his winnings back to the cause!
We held a shred event, sold tote bags and gingerbread ornaments, with proceeds going to Children’s Nebraska.
Plus, year-round, 100% of the money from the Branch candy machines, and $4 from every Savvy Merch item ordered goes to Children’s.

The post Quarterly Newsletter – Jan 2026 appeared first on First Nebraska Credit Union.

Do This: Review your spending patterns 

Not That: Start with a strict budget  

Take a week to observe how you actually spend. Look at your bank statements and credit card bills to spot patterns. Are subscriptions you no longer use still draining your account? Are grocery runs adding up to more than you realize? 

When you understand where your money is really going, you can make small, realistic adjustments – like shopping for generic brands or switching streaming services seasonally. Real progress beats rigid plans every time. 

Do This: Automate what you can 

Not That: Rely on willpower to save 

If you have ever meant to transfer money into savings but forgot (again), automation can save you from yourself. Schedule automatic transfers to savings on payday, set up direct deposit to savings, or set up autopay for bills to avoid late fees. 

This trick works because it removes temptation and decision fatigue – two major barriers to saving consistently. Even a small automatic transfer adds up over time. Think of it as paying your future self-first. 

Do This: Build an emergency cushion 

Not That: Wait until you can save “enough” 

A full emergency fund (three to six months of expenses) sounds great on paper and can feel impossible when money is tight. Start smaller. Even $20 a week builds momentum. Keep it in an easy-access account, separate from other money, so it does not get mixed with daily spending. 

This cushion helps protect you from unexpected costs – a car repair, a surprise bill, or even a missed paycheck – and gives you confidence that you can handle what comes your way. 

Do This: Plan for joy – not just bills 

Not That: Treat fun as “extra” or “unnecessary” 

Your budget should not just be about survival. Planning ahead for things that bring you joy, like a family outing, a weekend getaway, or even a nice meal out, keeps your financial plan sustainable. When you budget for joy and happiness, you are less likely to fall into guilt spending or burnout later. 

Do This: Check your credit and debt picture 

Not That: Avoid it because it feels stressful 

It is tempting to look away from debt; however, facing it head-on is the first step to taking control. Pull your free credit report at AnnualCreditReport.com and review all your balances, interest rates, and due dates. 

Focus on paying off the smallest balance first (the “snowball” method) to build momentum or tackle the highest-interest debt first (the “avalanche” method) to save money over time.   

Do This: Seek trusted support  

Not That: Navigate your finances alone 

You do not have to have every answer to feel financially confident. Your financial institution offers budgeting tools, workshops, or savings programs to help you get started.  

If you are dealing with debt, GreenPath offers free financial counseling and a proven Debt Management Program designed to lower interest rates, reduce payments, and reduce your stress in the coming year.
