SmartyPig

How many times have you told yourself that you’d like to save more? That you want to use the extra funds in your checking account to get started? That it’s time to use the ease of the Internet to help guide you to a more prosperous future? That there is no better time like the present? And the… it goes nowhere. A few credit card charges here, some spare cash tossed around there and all of a sudden, you’re back to wishing that “whole new you” will take charge – next month.  

In a recent guest post on Timothy Ferriss’s blog (The Four Day Work Week), Ramit Sethi (of I Will Teach You To Be Rich) stresses the importance of automating your finances. Sethi points out that taking even the tiniest of steps forward in automating your finances may be the push needed to jumpstart good financial habits. It’s as easy as just trying. Like the infomercial says, “Set it, and forget it.”  

With SmartyPig, you decide how much you want to save, when you want to save it by, and SmartyPig does the rest. It’s automatic. On the day of the month that you’ve chosen, SmartyPig will pull those funds from your existing savings or checking account and place the money toward your goal while earning one of the most competitive APY interest rates in the country. Need an emergency fund in these trying times? We do that. Need to get away for a weekend wedding of a friend? We do that. Need to simply start saving first before you buy something? We do that better than anyone, and make it more worthwhile than ever before. And if you do have extra cash, you always have the option to add money at any time, as well. With SmartyPig, we work tirelessly to make it as simple as possible for you to sit back and watch your piggybank fill up.

So what are you saving for?
