Make it automatic – you know if it isn’t in your pocket or easily accessible from the ATM, you are more likely to see your savings grow. Have a goal – save for something you want – and have a plan – where will you deposit your money, how, when. Sign up for monthly emails from "E-Wealth Coaches" here.
