The economy is still all over the place and as people try to just make it to next month, saving money isn't a priority. Never fear... I found some helpful advice in the way of financial guru Suze Orman. Starting to save doesn't have to be overwhelming. All you need is $500 and you'll be on your way.
Orman suggests starting off by keeping $400 in your savings acct as well as $100 in your checking. Easy enough. The logic behind this is that most car repairs won't cost you over $500 and as long as you keep at least $100 in your checking you'll always be able to cover everyday things that pop up. Yes, this is only the tip of the iceberg but everyone needs to start somewhere.It's nice to know that no matter what life throws at you, you'll always have at least $500 to your name :)
