Saving for Every Stage: CaNiesha's Story

For HR and Benefits leaders, CaNiesha’s story demonstrates how financial wellbeing programs support employees who are managing competing priorities, childcare responsibilities, and long term planning at the same time.

Through LearnLux, CaNiesha was able to:

• Create a personal budget that fits her lifestyle as a single parent
  
• Set up dedicated savings accounts for each of her children
  
• Plan ahead for her daughter’s upcoming college needs
  
• Start saving early for her young son’s future
  
• Build what she calls her “empty nester fund” to enjoy life after her kids become adults
  
• Get back on track with spending, saving, and retirement planning
  

Employees in caregiving roles often experience financial stress that impacts their daily lives and workplace performance. Personalized support helps them feel grounded, capable, and confident while also increasing engagement with employer provided benefits.

Hi, my name is CaNiesha and I'm new to LearnLux. I've been using it for a few months now and it's helped me get back on track. As a single mom of two, it's easy to get off track with budgeting and saving. Life just gets in the way. So, thanks to LearnLux, I've not only created a personal budget for myself, and also set up a savings account for both of my kids.

My daughter just turned 18, so she has a fund for college when she graduates. My son is only seven, so I have a savings for him for when he goes to high school and graduates. And then my savings is not just for retirement, but it's also called my empty nester fund. So once both my kids are well off into their lives as adults, then I'll have my money to go and travel or do whatever I want to do with it.

So thanks to LearnLux, I have gotten back on track with all of my savings, with my budgeting and everything. It's a really great tool to have if you are off track and need to set some goals. I encourage you to try LearnLux.

Thank you CaNiesha for sharing your LearnLux story!
