Should I just open a savings account?
Opening a savings account is the typical advice you might get from your parents or grandparents. While this might have been good advice for previous generations, savings accounts can actually cost you money! This is due to historically low interest rates and inflation. If your dollar can buy fewer things than it could 5 years ago and your savings account is paying you less than a penny for every dollar you have in the account, your buying power goes down!
Does this mean that saving money is a bad idea? Absolutely not! You should be saving as much money as your budget allows. The important part is where you are putting those savings that can be the difference in living the life you deserve and living paycheck to paycheck. Most people are not taught how money works and are unaware of the magic of compound interest. Before you fall asleep at the thought of such a boring financial term, take a look at the video below to see the exponential potential of this idea. The earlier you start saving and reinvesting your returns, the larger your account will grow! Eventually, you will reach the point where your interest payments can cover all of your expenses. Congratulations, you are now financially free!
