MyBankTracker Spreads the Love with Valentine’s Day “Gift Guide”
Out-of-the-Box
1. Give the Keys to
It may be the perfect time to let your partner know you're ready to take the relationship to the next level. This doesn't have to mean moving in together, but it can convey your feelings. If it does mean moving in, you can split the bills - resulting in long-term savings for you both.
2. Invest in His or Her Future
Pay for that class that he or she wants to take - it could open doors to more career opportunities. If your partner wants to open a business, give a small cash investment to help start it or cover the cost of business cards, applying for a business license or creating a website.
3. Redeem Your Credit Card Rewards for a Gift
If you want to give a special gift but don't have enough cash, redeem your credit card reward points for a gift card or merchandise.
4. Help Pay Off a Loan
If your partner is struggling with a mortgage or rent payment, student loans, car payment or credit card debt - help pay some of the balance to reduce the principal.
5. Offer to Add Them as an Authorized User
If your significant other doesn't have a credit history, add him or her as an authorized user on your credit card to help establish his or her credit. It's important to set limits and monitor the balance, but your good credit habits can benefit your partner's credit score.
6. Offer a Savings Match
Even though some people are diligent about contributing to an employer-sponsored 401(k), they struggle to build an adequate emergency fund. Give a one-time or continuous savings match to help jumpstart your partner's savings goals.
7. Give the Gift of Stock
To foster an interest in investing, give the gift of stock by transferring shares or purchasing individual shares from companies like SparkGift, StockPile and GiveAShare. Even the simple act of guiding someone to his or her first brokerage account can be impactful in the long run.
8. Buy a Life Insurance Policy
Consider taking out a life insurance policy in your name with your partner as the beneficiary. Make sure you understand the different policies: (1) term life insurance is attractive because it's less expensive, but you could outlive the short-term policy (2) whole life insurance provides coverage for your entire life, but is more costly.
