Need To Save for a Goal or Bucket List Item?

Hi Everyone!  This is my first blog and I'm really excited about it.  I'm a magazine-aholic which means I DEVOUR magazines any chance I get.  I get a lot of magazines and I go to the library and read magazines.  I get a great wealth of information from my magazines and I have shared info to my family and friends over the years.  I'll even copy or rip out articles and mail to others (I inherited this habit from my mother - who still does it), tweet or post as a status on Facebook.  Well, I got the great idea that I should share all this great information with the world...well social media that connects to the world.  It's my way of paying it forward. Plus I love free so most everything I post will be free unless it's something I can't live without!  

 

My first great discovery is from Black Enterprise magazine from the Dec 2012 issue (yes friends I'm a little behind the magazine stack):

www.smartypig.com (free iPhone app available too) is a free FDIC insured online savings account that let's you put money aside to save for a specific goal which funnels money from your savings or checking acct! You can even use social media to let your peeps donate to your goal!!  I want to save for my birthday trip next year so I'm going to utilize this app on my phone to save for the trip!
