Saving money is about understanding the power of small change, because small change adds up to big savings! It’s about taking control of your financial future—putting the plastic back in your wallet or purse and bringing your lunch to work instead of eating out. It’s about setting a goal, and finding a way to achieve it.
Why Should I Save?
!Having savings can mean the difference between getting your car fixed so that you can make it to work, or losing a day’s pay. It can mean having money to heat your home in the winter. It can mean being able to see your doctor and paying for your prescriptions. Savings brings you peace of mind. Saving is also about hopes and dreams for yourself and your family. Saving for your child’s education or to further your own, to buy a reliable car or start a business, or simply to pay down your debt—all are great reasons to get started saving today!
Saving is a Great Idea, but I Don’t Have a Penny to Spare!
Perhaps you can think about saving a little differently.
Make it Automatic! This is the best and most convenient way to save. Enroll in Direct Deposit at work and have a portion of your paycheck, no matter the amount, put into a savings account. If it isn’t in your pocket, you are less likely to spend it.
