Start the New Year Strong: Join the All In 2 Finances Challenge and Transform Your Financial Future

Nearly two-thirds of Americans say finances are their biggest source of stress, yet more than half of us don’t follow a detailed budget, and nearly half say we ignore financial problems until they become a crisis. What better way to usher in a new year than with a firm financial plan in hand to take charge of finances and stress.

With guidance from All In Credit Union, 2026 could be the year you take control of your finances, stop feeling stressed about money, and start feeling confident, informed, and empowered. All In Credit Union’s 6th annual All In 2 Finances Challenge can lead you to financial confidence and, for one dedicated participant, a $10,000 grand prize.

What if you’re selected to participate?

If you’ve ever wished for a coach, a plan, and a supportive community to help you get your finances on track, this is your moment. Whether your goal is to pay down credit-card debt, add to your rainy-day savings, improve your credit score, or simply learn how to manage your cash flow, the All In 2 Finance challenge is designed to help you take meaningful steps toward long-term financial health. It’s more than a contest; it’s a meaningful investment of time and effort that pays off in long-term financial health.

The All In 2 Finances challenge will select five participants to embark on a personal financial journey designed to help you build healthier money habits and make measurable progress toward your financial goals. Over the course of six months, you’ll have access to financial literacy classes and monthly check-ins with your financial coach, plus a customized budget to guide you as you establish and work toward your financial goals.  

At the end of the six months, the participant who makes the most significant progress will win the $10,000 prize.

Beyond the grand prize, the real reward comes in the form of newfound habits and financial stability that will continue long after the challenge ends.

What if you’re not one of the five finalists?

The five All In 2 Finances finalists who are selected for the competition won’t be the only ones who benefit from the All In 2 Finances challenge. Everyone is invited to be part of the journey to improve their financial well-being. You can follow along online for monthly savings tips, debt reduction strategies, credit improvement advice, and opportunities to participate in program challenges and win prizes.

You’ll get practical, easy‑to‑apply guidance that can help you make steady progress toward your goals. Think of it as a six-month financial wellness program you can participate in at your own pace. It’s a great way to jumpstart 2026 and move toward a financially healthier future.

There’s something powerful about the start of a new year. It’s a natural moment to reset, refocus, and commit to the goals that matter most. If improving your financial health is one of your resolutions, the All In 2 Finances Challenge gives you the structure and support to make it happen.

This friendly competition allows an opportunity to create a clear financial plan and start building habits that support long‑term stability. You’ll learn from experts who genuinely want to help, surrounded by a community focused on helping you grow.
