Saving

In this type of economy, one would assume that people would try their hardest to save...just never know what the future will bring. It's amazing how many people roll their eyes at the idea of saving, thinking "yeah, if only".

There are countless articles online and in papers recently outlining ways to save. It can seem daunting when you get a paycheck every two weeks and it all goes to bills. Most of us have been in a position where we just don't have anything left over to put in to a savings account...or a money market account (they're getting better interest rates right now). Then you see an article that says something like "Just a dollar a day adds up!". Of course we all think, a dollar's nothing...I can do that. So you do. You put a dollar a day in for a week. Or you think, I can't borther to do that once a day every day...I'll just put in or transfer $30 for the whole month.

Then $30 starts sounding like a lot, or maybe that extra $30 should be my splurge since I've been so good about this whole saving thing. This is the point when people start getting in trouble! It's that one time that you give yourself a break that it turns in to just that...a break. A break in the savings system. Stay on track and you can succeed!

Save hard. Spend smart.
