Do you have a savings account? In these tough financial times, savings might be the last thing on your mind, but it is still important to put some money away, especially when the rainy day is more likely to be around the corner. Having that buffer to fall back on might be just what you need if the worst happens.
Maybe it's not a rainy day you are worried about, but you need to save for a big event such as a wedding, or family holiday.
How much are you saving compared to others? Ever wondered that? I had, and so I was interested to find out that ING Direct, here in the UK has a widget that gives you the ability to find out the average that households in your area are putting into their Savings Accounts.
Check it out and see how you compare and whether you might need to increase your savings to keep in line with others or if you are doing really well and can give yourself a pat on the back.
It is just one tool you can use to work out how you are doing and maybe it will give you a push in the direction of putting even just a little away for the future.
