Make it automatic
It can be difficult to remember to save, but there are a number of ways to make it easier. For example, sign up for the automatic savings option at your bank.
Even if you only have the bank transfer a few dollars a week from your checking to your savings account, youll be pleasantly surprised at how much youll accumulate. Another nice surprise: the amount of money that will build up over time if you sign up for automatic payments to your companys employee retirement savings plan. Even small contributions can grow into a substantial nest egg.
