For some of you Uncle Sam has taken your money and for other’s he blessed your little heart and gave you a little bonus. One thing tax season in the US teaches us each year is that saving is very important because if you don’t do it for yourself and/or your families, no one else will. Most banks offer a plan of checking and savings giving you the opportunity to transfer funds from one into the other; now I would say transferring from Checking into Savings is the best way but for some of you, your savings must go towards everyday purchases as inflation is currently affecting you and for others you just can’t hold on to your money.
So, how about we set a goal for ourselves to save $5 (or more if you choose) each day for this month; this can be done by transferring funds from your checking to savings account or you can go old school and save the actual amount in your piggy bank or in your drawer. If starting now on the first day of the month that would be a minimum of $35 dollars per week depending on how you count your week. Happy Saving and let us all know what the process was like for you? Who knows maybe you can continue going after this month.
