3 Ways to Start Saving Now, No Excuses

Have you or a loved one lost a pension or seen your 401k take a big hit? In today’s economy you could still lose either one, as well as your job. With that in mind, I want to share three things that anyone, whether they currently have a job or not, can do – starting today – to save money.

Everyone can set aside something. If not ten percent of your income how about $5, $10, $20? We all can make one less trip to McDonald’s or buy one less cup of Starbucks coffee. Let’s use $5 to start. We can all do that! Take that $5, stick it in an envelope, and tuck it away in a dresser drawer. Your money drawer. Then forget about it. It doesn’t exist anymore, except in your future.
