Short-Term Saving: helps you save more

Saving is like trying to lose weight.  We all want to shed a few pounds but just getting started and sticking to it is hard.  We need something to help get us1145581_984594321

motivated, and keep us on track.   So let’s think about this for a minute.  First we have to have a reason to save.  Without  reason, you will not be succesful at anything.  I could sit here and tell you why you should save, but  I could also make many good points of why you shouldn’t save at all.  I’ll save that for another post.  I can however tell you why I have chosen to begin saving.  For me the reason is simple.  I hate to work.  Simple as that. I save so I can work less and less each day. 

So first you must decide why you want to save. The next step is to come up with a plan of how to save.  Whether you use a spreadsheet like our “Budget Tracker“,  a lined sheet of paper you write expenses on during the week, or setting up a small direct deposit of part of your weekly paycheck into a savings account.  Having a schedule and sticking to it is the best way to save.
