  6. Saving Your Money Any good financial plan includes two types of savings plans: • A set-aside account which serves two purposes: 1. Providing a safe place to set the money aside that you know you will need for future payments. 2. It makes that money work for you by earning interest. • A “nest egg” account: savings plan for the purpose of accumulating the money needed to achieve your financial goals • Provides a certain degree of comfort that money will be available if some unexpected expense should occur in the future.

  11. SAVING YOUR MONEY • Any successful financial plan includes a regular savings plan, no matter how small. • Getting into the habit of saving is just as important as how much you save. • After your financial situation is more stable, you will be in the habit of saving. • Remember, if you can just find a way to save just $20 per week, every week for a year, you will have saved $1,040 after one year! • After five years you will have saved $5,200!

  12. Remember • The amount saved is not as important as saving on a regular basis! • The more time you have to save, the more savings you will have at the end of the time period. • The more income you choose to save, the more savings you will have at the end of the time period. • The higher the interest rate the more savings you will have at the end of the time period.
