Visualize how your savings will grow over time
Build your emergency fund first in a high-yield savings account. Aim for 3-6 months of expenses in easily accessible funds before focusing on longer-term investments.
Set up automatic transfers to your savings account right after payday. Treating savings like a bill ensures consistency and removes the temptation to spend the money elsewhere.
Online banks often offer higher interest rates than traditional banks. Even a 1% difference in interest rate can significantly impact your savings growth over time.
