Tips for Growing Your Savings

Savings accounts are a great way to cover unexpected costs in the future, or just have a little extra money when you need it.  If you have a hard time saving, consider these money saving tips from Practicalmoneyskills.com.

  1. Make Saving a Priority – It is easy to lose track of resolutions, but if you make a plan, you can avoid falling behind. Determine what you want to save for, and be as vigilant about it as you are about paying rent or buying groceries.
  2. Find Money to Save – After paying the bills and buying what you need it might seem like you don’t have any money left to save. Chances are you can find extra money you didn’t even know you had just by keeping track of your spending and cutting back on buying things you don’t need.

Get a jumpstart on saving by opening a savings account at First Bank in South Carolina. We have 6 savings account options that are designed to meet the needs of our individual customers.

To open an account or learn more about our savings account options, visit one of our South Carolina branches today.

How To Make A Budget The best way to save money and gain control over your finances is to make a budget. Follow these simple steps to make a budget that will save you money and bring you peace of mind about your spending. Making a Budget People often set their budgets according to a monthly schedule because most living expenses are based on monthly billing cycles. As such, it won’t hurt to spend one full month making your budget. That way you’ll come up with the most accurate data possible. Record All Your Expenses Keep track of everything you pay each month. This includes: Rent/mortgage Car payments Car warranty Utility bills Student loans Cell phone bill Gas Groceries Insurance (car, health, or any other type) Home warranty Memberships to gyms or clubs Charitable donations Many of your monthly expenses are fixed amounts. But others, such as gas and groceries, will fluctuate from one month to the next. Round slightly up for these as it’s better to come up a little short of the intended number than to go over it. Also, some payments such as car insurance might be quarterly or yearly. Figure out how much it equates to per month and factor the payment in that way. Record Your Income The next step is to tally up how much money you’re bringing in each month. If you have a job that pays hourly or by commission and each paycheck varies a little, round slightly down. It’s better to bring in a little more money than what you intended as opposed to coming up short. Do the Math Now that you know what’s going out and what’s coming in, do the math to determine how much is left over. If the difference is positive (you’re making more than you spend): Great! You have extra money that can be put in a savings account, vacation account, or to be used for fun spending money. Or, use it to chip away at those student loans or car payments. Remember, the faster you pay those off, the less you’ll spend in interest in the long run. If the difference is negative (you’re spending more than you make): You’re operating in debt and the sooner you can curb the momentum, 4 min read
