Your Summer Money Game Plan

Whether you're chasing a savings goal or side-hustling for extra cash, USF Credit Union has your summer money game plan in the latest edition of our popular “Game to Get Fit” Financial Wellness series!
Are you “Game to Get Fit?” Here are some effortless ways to boost your income:
First Move: Activate Your Hustle with These Gigs
- Pet sitting and dog walking (because everyone’s vacationing)
- Airbnb cleaning or co-hosting
- Freelancing writing, design, or content creation
- Rideshare or delivery driving
- Selling crafts, vintage, or digital goods online
Pro Tip: Open a free USF CU Checking and Savings account and keep your side gig income separate. It’s cleaner, smarter, and makes tax season a breeze.
Second Move: Streamline Your Payouts
You’ve done the work, now get paid fast. With Zelle® through USF CU, you can send and receive payments instantly.
Quick win: Let your clients know you accept Zelle. It’s fast, secure, and drops money straight into your account.
Third Move: Unlock Passive Perks
Making money doesn’t always mean more work. Passive income earns while you sleep, relax, or take a road trip to the Keys.
Easy ways to get started:
- Rent out a room, driveway, or storage
- Invest in dividend stocks or real estate
- Sell digital templates, e-books, or online courses
- Open a USF CU Money Market account to let your savings grow
Money market accounts: steady returns + access when you need it = smart money move.
Final Move: Stack, Save, Repeat
This summer is your chance to reset, earn more, save smarter, and build something bigger. You’ve got the tools, and we’ve got your back.
Coming in July: Our deep dive into financial independence—how to build it, and why it’s your ultimate freedom upgrade.
Don’t wait on “someday.” Visit usfcu.com and start stacking today.
Let’s make it a summer of growth—financially and personally.
