Saving Cents With Sense

JANUARY 24, 2012

You never realize how important work and health is until you are struggling with both, and quitting my job and going through a hard time truly humbled me. Flash forward to current day – I run my own business as a freelancer and work full time. However, I know now that paying off debt is more important.

The term “sinking fund” was originally a business term used to designate a savings account where a corporation holds funds for the repayment of a debt in order to improve their liquidity. In personal finance, a sinking fund is a savings account that is designated specifically for an irregular expense.

If there is money left in your budget at the end of the pay period, move it to savings as well. I know a lot of people move this money into a separate vacation or fun money savings account. In my book, rebate checks equal easy savings. I always deposit my rebate checks and survey checks directly to my savings account.

My niece goes to Goodwill and buys what I can only describe as bags of junk, and she makes a full-time income selling it on eBay. That’s a big chunk of extra money you can keep in your savings account during the holidays! Save your savings. You’d be amazed at the things people will buy.

One of the first things that I implemented, when I decided that I needed to save more, was opening up a savings account (in my case, a TFSA which is now an investment account) that I could transfer all of my extra income into. I put $25 per paycheck into my savings account every second Friday.

If you’re already barely living from check to check, your credit rating is really low and you don’t have a lot of money in your checking on savings account, you may want to wait before having a child. For the rest of us who rely on two-income household to keep everything running smoothly, day care is not cheap.

My biggest financial regret is the amount of money we spent on restaurant meals from the time we were married and both working full time to when we had kids. Now I wish those dollars had gone into our savings accounts. What’s an embarrassing money mistake you’ve made? Alan doesn’t share that regret.
