What is Personal Finance? Are you ready to get a handle on your finances and prepare for your future? The first step is understanding personal finance. According to Investopedia, “Personal finance defines all financial decisions and activities of an individual or household, including budgeting, insurance, mortgage planning, savings and retirement planning.” Understanding these terms can help you better control your funds and prepare for future financial success. Important Personal Finance Terms Budgeting — Establishing a budget is an important part of managing your personal finances. A budget helps you keep track of your spending patterns and plan how you are going to spend your income each month. Start by calculating your total monthly income, then use MyMoney to track all of your expenses each month. This will help you see where your money is going, where you can save and where you can spend a little extra each month. Insurance  — Purchasing insurance is another large part of managing your personal finances. According to Investopedia, by purchasing insurance — like health insurance, life insurance and car insurance and homeowner’s insurance — you are protecting yourself from risk and ensuring the security of your material standing. Savings  — Whether you’re in your 20s and just starting to learn about personal finances, or are in your 30s and looking to better manage your funds, one thing is certain, you should be saving for the future. It is important to establish an emergency savings fund to cover any financial hardships and a retirement savings plan to help you in the future.

Phone spoofing is when scammers manipulate caller ID to make it appear as though they are calling from a local number, a trusted business, or even a government agency. This deception is used to trick you into answering the call and engaging with them, often leading to financial fraud or identity theft. How to Spot a Spoofing Scam Scammers use various techniques to gain your trust or create panic. Here are some red flags to watch out for: Unexpected calls or texts from familiar-looking numbers – Just because a number appears local doesn’t mean it is. Requests for personal or financial information – No legitimate organization will call or text and ask for your Social Security number, account details, or passwords. Pressure to make immediate payments – Scammers often try to create urgency, threatening legal action or service disconnection if you don’t pay immediately. Automated messages asking you to press a button – This is often a tactic to confirm your number is active, leading to more scam calls. How to Protect Yourself The good news is there are steps you can take to avoid becoming a victim of spoofing scams: Don’t answer calls or texts from unknown numbers – If the call is important, the caller will leave a message. Hang up immediately – If you answer and realize it’s a scam, don’t engage. Just hang up. Verify the caller’s identity – If a caller claims to be from a trusted organization, hang up and call the company directly using a verified number from their official website or a recent bill. Make sure you manually enter the correct phone number, don’t trust your caller ID incase the number was spoofed. Be skeptical of unexpected requests – Whether it’s an offer that sounds too good to be true or a demand for urgent payment, always be cautious. Avoid sharing personal information – Never provide sensitive details over the phone unless you are 100% sure of the caller’s legitimacy. Use call-blocking tools – Many phone carriers offer services to help block suspected spam and scam calls. Report suspicious calls – You can report spoofing scams to law enforcement, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) at fcc.gov/spoofing, or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at reportfraud.ftc.gov. Report suspicious texts – You can report spam text messages to your wireless provider by forwarding it to 7726 (SPAM). This helps your wireless provider spot and block similar messages in the future. Use these links for instructions on how to forward a text message: iPhone instructions or Android instructions Stay Aware, Stay Safe At First Bank, we prioritize your security and want to help you stay informed about potential scams. By staying aware and taking preventive measures, you can protect yourself from fraudsters and keep your personal information secure. 3 min read

Image for tile. The Taxman Cometh Do you have a stack of forms sitting on your counter that you’re dreading sorting through? If so, you might have FOTM, or Fear of the Tax Man. It can often hit around February or March, and is incredibly common. One way of dealing with FOTM is by getting your finances ready so that when it comes time to file, you feel a little better. Here are our tips and to-dos to help you prepare. Start Early (If You Can) Ideally, you’ve already started this process, but if you’re reading this and haven’t started pulling your tax information together, don’t panic. Keep it together: Make sure you keep all the tax documents you receive together so they’re easy to find and reference when it’s time to file. If you are getting help preparing your taxes, this will also make the process much smoother. If you have a business, make sure you keep those expenses separate. Review your filing status: Your filing status can affect how much you owe in taxes each year, and whether or not you have to file at all. If you’re unsure about your filing status, the IRS has a tool for helping you figure it out. Look back at last year’s return: Think about what areas (if any) were frustrating or caused you trouble. Prepare ahead of time this year for how you might make it easier for yourself. Deduce your deductibles: Track your charitable donations, childcare expenses, any home improvements you made, and any other deductibles you may have. You can use our mobile or online banking to help track these. Get it done. Whether you file on your own or use a tax preparer, make sure you get everything in by July 15 or file an extension! Check out the IRS tips page for links and articles that may further help and guide you. Remember, FOTM is real, but if you’re prepared, you can alleviate the fear. Please note, First Bank does not offer direct tax advice. We recommend you speak to a professional if you have any questions about preparing your personal or business tax forms. 2 min read
