    No doubts , A good way of growing and saving your money is through investing . You don't need to have much before you can invest. "That little money you have now can make you millions if you invest it wisely". I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made..

    Alright so generally, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, It's important to have a solid support structure (financial consultant) to guide you through especially in asset picking.I operate with (REGINA LOUISE COLLARO) an invéztment advisor who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance.She is quite popular for her services so you might have heard of her. She made me financially stable investing through her help, now I earn on a monthly basis through her passive income strategy...So I’ll advise you do get a good Invéztment advisor for yourself.

    we use debit and credit cards, but the whole process of paying bills is a lot easier and is electronic transfer. We have a thing called BPay - essentially all Businesses have a BPay number so the banks know where to send the money to and all Businesses give their customers reference numbers. You punch in both of those (once you login to your bank account) and the money knows where to go and who it's for once it gets there. If you forgot to pay your bill just jump on a computer or your phone and you're done.

    If you're leaving any more than 6 months worth of bills and expenses in a savings account vs investing that money you're doing yourself a disservice. Your bank should allow 6 ACH payments out of your savings per month. If you have fewer utilities and mortgage payments than that you can reliably pay online via ACH out of your savings and save yourself the expenses that come with a checking account. Keep the small amount you need for gas and groceries every two weeks in cash if you want to and $100 as a buffer for unexpected gas expenses or a desired purchase. You can also find a bank that doesn't charge you fees or have a minimum balance for a checking account and use it like cash. Either way, the small amount of interest you get from a savings account is not worth you hoarding in one. At least invest in index fund with anything you don't plan on needing in the short term after your 6 month emergency fund.

    So hold up. You dont get interest on a checking account, AND you have to pay fee's on it!? If you don't get interest on that money, you shouldn't be paying fees for it either. I don't understand why not only have a savings account with 1 card, and use that card for your purchases, and only have the 1 account to deposit to. No/Less fees, and you get interest on the money. It's not like the money is fixed, so you can still withdraw it even when banks are loaning it out to others.

    Want to skip fees? Credit Unions are a fantastic alternative to banks. Also, ugh savings accounts are a dismal choice for earning interest, check out betterment or vanguard for a stronger return. Another consideration is debt cards vs credit cards. Best to get a credit card and use it like a debit card (paid off every month). This provides a lot of fraud protections, and helps build credit.
