Dear Finance Friend
My husband and I are reaching retirement age and are very excited to travel and
see many of America’s gems. We are calling our post-retirement trip, “Around the
US in 180 Days.” What can we do to prepare ourselves for our great adventures?
— Ready to Retire
Dear Ready to Retire,
Congratulations! One way to make your adventurous plans affordable is by
applying for a VISA Cash Rewards credit card. This card can earn you cash back on
things you will need for your vacation, such as gas and groceries. Right now ECU
has great low-rate boat and RV loans. With these knockout interest rates, you and
your husband can be stress-free and ready for retirement. So, if you plan on getting
an RV or boat to help you accomplish your 180 day goal, stop by ECU so we can
help you make your retirement a “peace” of cake.
