America Saves Week 2010 is next week (February 21-28) and First National Bank of Omaha (Member FDIC) is getting the word out with a few simple steps to saving more…
-
Pay down debt by an extra $25 a month
-
Set up an Emergency Account
-
Set up a Medical Deductible Account
-
Establish a Car Deductible Account
-
Create a Vacation Account
-
Save Tax Refunds
-
Open an online savings account
FNBO also has a great Pay Yourself First calculator that asks a few simple spending questions and shows you how cutting back can add up to big savings. It’s mind boggling to think that cutting back on my daily half price Sonic Slushie habit could help me save over $16,000 over 20 years.
What are you doing to step up your savings?
This is not a sponsored post. I do not have an account with FNBO and am not endorsing their services – only their willingness to get the word out about America Saves Week.
I wish I had $10 to put aside. It is taking everything we earn to pay the bills.
I hear you, Karen. I’ve been out of work for over a month and have started to scrape together odd jobs and freelance work to get by.
