While I’m good at pinching a penny, I wouldn’t consider
myself the best saver in the world. I always have something that needs to be
paid or taken care of. My method for dealing with this problem is having the
money automatically placed into another account – if I don’t see it, then I don’t
miss it. For this I have an ING account. It had been inactive for a while, but
earlier this year I decided to start using it again. Of course, I had forgotten
the PIN, so I had to call customer service for assistance. In addition to
setting me up for a new PIN (which they sent in the mail), they helped me
activate automatic deductions. This was all well and good, except for the fact
that I kept forgetting to call and activate my PIN, for me to access the
account. Anyhow, long story short, I finally got it done and “WHOA, WHAT A
SURPRISE.” While it isn’t hundreds of thousands of dollars in the account, it’s
definitely more than I expected.
I’m sure I’m not the only person who isn’t good at saving, so
I’m going to share a chart with you to help you do better. Remember a penny
saved, can help buy ice cream one day.
