4 Ways to Automate Savings

Savings Challenge - Round-ups!

This episode, we put our money where our mouths are and commit to using ROUND UP features of our respective bank accounts to save money. In previous episodes, we have discussed the importance of saving money and suggested ways to make it a priority. With a round-up feature, saving money can not only be easy and consistent, but also almost invisible! Round-up savings leverages your normal, everyday spending to save by "rounding up" your purchases to the next even dollar and putting that rounded up amount into a savings or investment account. Join us as we track our savings over the next few months and, since you're here, start your own round up account as well! We think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results!
