Which team you’re routing for? I am all giants

I’ve saved hundreds due to the automated feature from the “keep the change” instituted by my bank. Best thing since sliced bread. I match a percentage of it.
I used to use that with BofA but I just have an automatic transfer to my savings each month. We also keep a change jug and put our loose change in that for spending money while on vacation.
I highly recommend automating your savings. It takes all of the self-control out of the issue,and after awhile, you forget how much your paycheck is when you aren’t having your savings automatically deducted.
Agree with you on the less opportunity to get your hands on your money the less chance you have to spend it!
Thanks for the wrap!
