Treat it like a bill

Posted on June 30th, 2010 by lauren

Why is it so hard to save money? Here’s a tip to simplify saving: Treat it like a bill. Just like you have money in your bank account set up to automatically pay for your bills, do the same with saving. Set up an automatic “payment” plan to set aside $5, $10, $25, $50, or $100 every week or every month into a savings account with an automatic savings plan like ING DIRECT and your money is FDIC-insured like any other bank in the U.S.

The best part is you don’t even have to think about it. Putting $100 aside every month (or $25 every week) will get you $1,200-$1,300 plus interest by the end of a year. Imagine what you could do with more!
