Do you have automatic deposits set-up?
It really is one of the best ways to achieve your savings and investment goals.
I used to have a hard time saving money every month because there were so many bills to pay and so many things I wanted to do with my money. Now that I use automatic withdrawals, my investments are made before I even see the money.
I still pay my bills and spend the money in my checking account, but the process of reaching my investment goals has been automated with no need for my personal motivation and discipline.
If you don't know where you will invest your money each month, open an online savings account so your investment money will be in a separate account making 4-6% interest.
Your investment account should only serve as the home of your investment money, but you can also use it as an emergency fund if you need money for unexpected expenses. Just make sure you don't raid this account for vacations and fancy things you don't really need.
You can start with as little as $50 a month and then you can raise your monthly withdrawals as you figure out what your investment goals are.
From my personal experience, I highly encourage you to establish monthly automatic withdrawals to meet your financial goals.
