When you're tight on money you probably
don't think about saving or investing your
money. But, unless you make an effort to
save and invest, chances are, it will never
happen. Making this effort is called "Paying
Yourself First."
We'll show you ways to save and invest
that don't cost a lot of money, and more
importantly, can help you stretch your dollar
a lot further.
Basics of Savings Accounts
You can earn money by just letting some of your money sit for a while. We'll show you the easiest ways to set aside a little money every month, and where to put it.
Individual Development Accounts
An IDA can really make your money grow. Some IDA programs will give you as much as $3 for every $1 dollar that you save. This program is the quickest way to save for college, a home, or a new business.
Basic Investments
Another good way to make your money grow is through investing. It can be confusing, but we'll show you the basics, what to avoid and who can help you with your investment planning.
