Saving smart.

[carol b]

I like to take a minimum of twenty dollars a week and stick it
in my savings account. I don't really miss it and it adds up.
You can at least have a few dollars saved for emergencies
this way.

Check with your bank to see what interest rate they are paying.
Also ask what amount you need to start and account. The cheaper
the better. The higher the interest rate the more money you have
at the end of the year.

Be safe and make a plan. Don't miss the opportunity to do it, you can get the money from saving pennies or bottle returns. Any extra you get just
put it away.

We all have to find ways to put money away for the unexpected things that always pop up in our lives.

As soon as we get comfortable it seems like something happens and usually when it does there is no saved money to help with the situation.

Make a pact with yourself to save. Something you can do is to never break a five dollar bill. Make a plan to always put your five dollar bills away instead of spending them. It may only be five at a time but it will add up quickly to a nice little savings for emergencies.
