In an ideal world, the need to constantly obsess over your finances would never happen. But the world we’re currently living in, especially from a financial perspective, is far from ideal. Money makes the world go ’round. And in almost every corner of the globe, money is tight. The good news is your finances don’t have to be difficult or demanding at all, especially when it comes to saving. You don’t have to obsess over saving money when it’s made simple.

Earlier this week, financial guru Suze Orman appeared on the Today Show stressing the importance of saving. We at Smartypig could not agree with Ms. Orman more. Whether it is saving for the eight-month emergency fund she suggested, saving for your children’s future education or saving for the dream vacation you’ve always wanted to take, SmartyPig has made it easier than ever to reach your goals without the constant worry. 

You tell us how much you want to save and for how long, and SmartyPig does the rest. Really. Each month, on the day of your choice, SmartyPig deducts the desired amount out of your existing checking or savings account and adds it to your goal. You also earn one of the highest interest rates (3.05% APY), and if your friends and family want to chip in to help out, we’ve got the social aspect covered too. No worrying about manually transferring funds between accounts or driving to the bank. No worrying about your money working for you. No worrying about staying the course. SmartyPig is simple, smart saving at its best.  

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to put down the plastic and avoid future debt. Financial sensibility for your family is just a few clicks away.
