How to Get in the Savings Habit

You have a lot of good reasons to save, whether for a long-term goal like retirement or a child's education, or more immediate goals like next year's vacation or a flat-screen TV. But if you're like a lot of people, you have good reasons for not saving, also: it isn't easy to find the extra money to set aside, you need to keep reminding yourself, it takes discipline and will power.

You can overcome these obstacles and make saving money a habit you don't even have to think about with Wachovia's Way2SaveSM program. The Way2Save program makes saving automatic: you get $1 automatically transferred from your checking account to your Way2Save account when you use your Wachovia Check Card to make a purchase, pay bills online including through Online Banking with BillPay note 3 or set up automatic debits from your checking account. To reach your savings goal even faster, you can set up an automatic transfer of up to $100 per month from your checking account to your Way2Save account. You'll earn a 5 percent first-year bonus on the money you've saved and 2 percent the second and third years. We think our Way2Save program is the easiest way you'll find to get into the saving habit.

Once you've started saving, you'll find motivation and encouragement to keep at it by monitoring your progress through free Online Banking with BillPay. You can check your interest payments and balances to see how much closer your savings are to reaching the goals you've set. You can also add to your savings or money market accounts by arranging for automatic transfers from your checking account, or periodically making transfers yourself when you have extra funds at the end of the month.
