Saving money doesn't have to be complicated.
Saving money is crucial. Maybe you’re trying to reach a goal of buying a home or moving to a new place. Maybe you have a big purchase in mind, like a car, or want to have extra cash for holiday gifts.
However, as important as savings may be, many Americans simply aren’t making it happen. One study from GOBankingRates showed that 57% of the 8,000 people it polled had under $1,000 in savings and 39% had nothing saved at all. And, according to the Economic Policy Institute, almost half of American families have nothing in retirement savings.
Pixabay Consider using a certificate of deposit Here’s a smart banking tip: Deposit your money into a certificate of deposit for a fixed period of time and the bank will pay a higher-than-usual interest rate. When the term is up, snag your money, plus the interest it earned. The risk is relatively low, as CDs are insured up to $250,000, and there are options for CDs that don’t incur a penalty for pulling out money early.
Canva Buy used Buying secondhand clothes, dishware, furniture, and more can save a bundle. You’ll be surprised—many supposedly “used” goods are nearly new. Cars might be the best value in this department. Not only are used cars an average of $14,000 less than new cars, but insurance rates are also lower than they would be for something driven off the lot that’s brand new.
Canva Make a budget Saving money and curbing spending starts with making a budget. Budgets allow you to plan for financial goals and to see where you may be spending more than you think. Keep a spreadsheet to track your goals and spending, or download a budgeting app. These apps connect with your financial institutions to automatically track spending.
Canva Start a garden Gardens require an investment of labor and money upfront. However, if you’re willing to put in the work to build your own containers and haul in soil, it can be an inexpensive way to have delicious, healthy food. And, while you can buy seedlings from a store, you can also get seeds for free or for a small fee from a seed library.
