Put Your Savings On Autopilot

by Life Coaching Today Network | Aug 24, 2020 | Coaching

savings

Putting a little money away or your savings for a rainy day isn’t always easy. You may have some good intentions, but at the end of the day, there just isn’t any money left.

Somehow whatever you make is spend before you make it to the next paycheck.  Start by making a personal budget. Take a look at what you bring in each month. Next, write down your fixed expenses. These are things like rent, car payments, utilities etc.

Figure out how much you need each month for groceries and other essentials. This is your bare bones budget. It’s good to know what you need to get by each month.

Next it’s time for a little bit of math. Start with what you bring in each month and subtract all your core expenses. What you’re left with is your discretional income. This will pay for entertainment, clothes, getting your nails done etc. And from here on out, part of that discretional income will go into a savings account.

Pick a number you’re comfortable with. Maybe that’s just $20 per month, maybe it’s $500. Put it in your budget and treat it like any other bill. It won’t take you long to get into the habit of setting aside that money for savings.

To make it even more hands-off, talk to your bank about setting up a separate bank account. Then set up an auto-deposit to have the savings transferred to the new account as soon as your pay check comes in each month.

If you don’t see it, you’ll never miss it and your savings will run on autopilot.  Don’t forget to audit your savings from time to time. Take another look at your budget. Can you increase your savings a little more?

Another great way to boost that savings account is to take any extra money – thinks like birthday cash, tax return, bonuses etc. – and put them straight into the bank account. Again, you won’t even miss the money, but it will help you build up your savings quickly.

Make sure your savings are sitting in an interest-bearing account. Since you won’t be touching this money unless it’s a dire emergency, you should be able to earn at least a little interest.

Talk to your banker about your best options and start putting your savings on autopilot.

One last tip: Talk to your employer about matching 401K funds. You may be able to get a contribution from the company you work for towards your retirement savings account.
