Some folks jokingly saved
a penny saves is a penny. At any rate I’m
writing this post to encourage business owners to save. Why?
Just today I read on yahoo
finance that a survey was just released by GOBankingRates that reports “69% of
Americans have almost no savings”. The
study went further to say that the savings that was reported was only $1,000 or
even less.
It doesn’t hurt to save
and you don’t need thousands of dollars to start. There are many fine companies that allow one
to start for as little as $50 a month. I
always like to tell stories. An administrative
assistant of a client once said to me “Gee Bob, I’d love to save but I don’t
have any money.” When we looked at her
payroll and checking accounts, we uncovered ways to have her set aside $100
every month. In a few years that account
has grown to over $17,000!
The moral of the story is
that it pays to save. Be not afraid to save.
It is not cast in stone and you can always adjust your program at any
time.
