Financial Literacy Month – Tip #7

Automatic Payment

Here’s the tip from March 27 – Saving More month:

Have you ever said to yourself that I will save whatever is left over after I pay my bills? I know that I have. If you are like me, there was no money left over. Big surprise! It’s like when you get a raise and you have no idea where the extra money has gone.

The age-old way to save is to set up automatic savings money. Have an amount taken out of your paycheck and deposited directly to your savings account. The money is gone before you get your hands on it. If your company doesn’t offer this, that’s not a problem. You can have an amount set up to be withdrawn from your checking account on a regular basis. The benefits are that you are saving without effort on your part and the money isn’t in your checking account so you can’t spend it.
