How can you do this?
HERE ARE SOME EASY STEPS TO FOLLOW:
1. SET A GOAL FOR YOURSELF. It can include adding to a savings account, or reducing your over all debt. Did you know that –in the past year, 1 in 6 American Savers selected paying off consumer debts as their goal?
2. MAKE A PLAN that you can FOLLOW. If you want an easy one, that does not take much of your time— increase your contributions to your retirement account. Go On-Line and change your contribution level, by a certain amount of dollars or a percentage (like 1%). You will be in very good company if you increase your retirement savings: 44% of those who reported having a retirement savings goal made a change to their retirement plans.
