NORTH HAVEN, Conn. – A West Haven couple won $10,000 in Connex CU’s first savings contest, besting three other families.
The winners were graded on the efforts to change their lifestyles to improve their financial condition, reduce living costs and build their savings. "We are incredibly excited and surprised that we won," said James Eichler. "Working with Connex, we were able to re-examine our financial situation and identify plenty of areas where we could cut costs and make a significant impact on our savings," said James Eichler, who was top saver, along with his wife Carla.
Three other competitors in the Connex Credit Union Savings Challenge ’08 received $1,000 for participating.
Connex is already accepting applications for next year’s contest.
