Where Are You Today? Which Money Trap Catches You?

Eating out! If you pack a brown bag lunch 3 days a week instead of purchasing your lunch daily in 2 years you will have saved almost $2,000.
Smoking! Try cutting back. Instead of purchasing two packs of cigarettes daily, purchase one pack. In 3 years you will have saved over $2,000.
Entertainment costs! Instead of taking your family of four to a movie theater once a month, rent a video. In 3 years, you will have saved about $2,000.
Credit card debt! Pay your credit card bill in full each month and save $2,000 in 2 years. (If your credit card balance averages $6,000, you average $1,000 in interest and fees annually.) PAY WITH CASH...don't spend tomorrow's income by buying on credit today!

Where Can You Be Tomorrow?

Save $2 a day...for 3 years and you will have more than $2,000 in your savings account.
Save for newborn babies...save just $5 a week for a newborn child and in 6½ years that child would have $2,000 and by college age, approximately $8,000.
Once saving becomes a habit...save 5% of your take home pay. (Example: if your take home income is $360 per week (5% would be $18) and you save that for 2 years you would have about $2,000...save that for 30 years, you would accumulate approximately $74,000.

If You Find Saving Difficult

...here are a few suggestions...

Try having payroll deductions deposited to a savings account. (If you don't see it you won't spend it.)
Try saving any salary increase rather than spending it!
