November 2009 E-Newsletter Sponsor - First National Bank

Halloween has passed and I hope that the parties, the costumes, and the fun you had didn’t cause a scare in your wallet. If it did, then you need to keep reading to find out how First National Bank located just south of 135th St. and Route 59 in Plainfield can assist you and your family with their personal finances.

“What! A banker that doesn’t want to give me a loan?!?!” That’s right! Don’t get me wrong, First National Bank is able to help you in the event that you are remodeling your home or you are a small business owner looking to make an equipment purchase. But we are here to offer guidance to our customers, not just put them in debt.

Guess what? The calendar didn’t change this year. Christmas is still December 25th! Pretty crazy right!

That means that you have approximately 3-4 paychecks left to plan out your Christmas shopping. Our Financial Peace University graduates are looking forward to a debt free Christmas. We have equipped them with the tools to plan on major purchases, understand their personal cash flow, and how to implement that strategy into their daily lives. We have found that the written game plan can help you eliminate overspending during the Christmas season.

First National Bank, by popular demand, will be offering Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University in 2010. We will have a Free Preview session on February 23rd at our Plainfield location and on February 25th at our Shorewood location. Both events will start at 6:00 PM.

This should be a must purchase gift for an engaged couple, recent college graduate, or someone considering starting a small business.

If you need to put together a plan, don’t wait until the class, call Adam Underhill, Assistant Vice President, at (815) 609-7570.
