PERSONAL WELLNESS | Colby-Sawyer's sustainability & resilience culture relies on Four Foundational Commitments. The first of which is personal wellness. This involves being attentive to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, whether positive or negative, and coping and accepting them accordingly. Do not be afraid to seek out support if needed, and be sure to support others with an active, listening ear.

ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY TIP #7 | Create a budget. Budgets are powerful tools. When you track your spending, you know where your money is going and where you need to cut back. Living on a budget doesn't mean you can never have any fun--it means the fun you do have won't prevent you from paying the bills.

ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY TIP #6 | Start investing now. It will give your money more time to build interest. You’ll also reach your retirement goals faster if you start at an early age. Investing is a lot simpler than you think. You can open an account online with a minimal balance and schedule withdrawals from your bank account to your investing account each month.

ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY TIP #5 | Create savings goals. Think about your future now and create goals to work toward. If you think you’ll be purchasing a home in the next few years, for example, make a down payment fund. If you’ll be purchasing a car, start saving for that. Try to save as much cash as you can for those larger purchases.

ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY TIP #4 | Make a plan to tackle debt. If you rack up a lot of student loans, personal loans, or credit card debt, you’ll need a plan of attack. Pick a method for paying down debt that keeps you motivated. In order to create a stress-free financial future, you need to get organized as early as possible.

ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY TIP #3 | Create an emergency fund. They're essential to financial health in situations such as a car breaking down or an unexpected medical bill. If you're working on paying off debt, start a small emergency fund with about $1000. Once you pay off your debt and start earning more money, you can increase your emergency fund.

ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY TIP #2 | Take out a limited amount of credit cards. Credit cards can be helpful financial tools in the sense that they build your credit score. They can also be dangerous. Limit the number of credit card accounts you open, and always pay your balance in full each month.
