While consumers are hopeful that the economy will continue to improve, research shows that they are still watching expenses and living on a tight budget.  Concerns about money and job security weigh heavy on the minds of many Americans, who want a return to normalcy after years of uncertainty and scrimping on their lifestyle spending.

Geisel, Sun National Bank President and CEO.  "While helping our customers every day plan for their financial future, we also want them to have the opportunity to live in the moment and take time out to enjoy life."
