Get Started
Many times, the hardest part of saving is getting started. It is important to establish a sustainable savings program that is realistic. Start out saving a small amount each and every payday. Once you get used to saving a small amount, you can increase it as your circumstances allow. Using payroll deductions or automatic transfers is a convenient way to keep a savings program on track.
As your balance grows, you may wish to invest in certificates of deposit. CDs usually pay a higher rate of interest and can be purchased with maturities of several months or years.
