That's a large number, huh? If you think about saving, you should. While it does require a lot of discipline because spending is easier than saving, try to save the most you can. Whether it's a few pennies to a few dollars, it'll add up. Not many Americans have enough emergency funds saved up and unexpected problems are unavoidable.
Within the amount saved, you can:
- Reward yourself with a nice vacation.
- Buy yourself a new car if your old car is worn out.
- Buy your family Christmas presents every year and you'll still have money left over.
- You will most likely have enough cash to make a down payment for your dream business or even a house.
- Live life with fewer worries because you know your emergency funds are always there for you.
The best tip I can provide for you is to save your money somewhere where you can't touch it.
- You can place your coins in a glass piggy bank. There are piggy banks where you'll have to break in order to get your money. Most of the time when you need money for unnecessary things, you won't want to break it until an emergency occurs.
- Have a bank savings account. If you have a direct deposit from your work, you can work out a plan with your bank to deposit a part of your earnings to your savings account.
Think for a moment about your future and why you should save extra money and not spend it on unnecessary things. Save even if you plan to save 25 cents a day for a year.
