how money can work for you

Save money by learning how money works.

By making financial decisions that optimize your money for your goals and needs, you put your money to work. A few ways to make the most of your money include learning to budget, opening a high yield bank account online, starting to invest (if you haven’t yet), and automating portions of your finances like bill pay or savings.

Better money management starts with spending awareness. Use a money management app like MoneyTrack to track spending across categories, and see for yourself how much you’re spending on non-essentials such as dining, entertainment, and even that daily coffee. Once you’ve educated yourself on these habits, you can make a plan to improve.

Invest your money to make more money.

"The key is to get money in a 401(k)," says Gould. "Save as much as possible to have your money work for you tax-efficiently and to get money in the markets. The first bucket outside of the emergency fund is the 401(k) up to the match [if your employer provides one]. You don't want to give away free money."

A budget can help you do just that. It's important to build investment contributions into your budget. If you set aside a portion of your earnings each month to contribute to your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement funds, you'll eventually build a nice nest egg. Although you may have to sacrifice a little now, it will be worth it down the road. After all, would you rather spend your retirement golfing and taking trips to the beach or working as a greeter at the local grocery store to make ends meet? Exactly.

Use money to achieve your goals.

Add fun things to your budget. It’s one thing to reduce all your expenses to pursue your goals. But, if it forces you to sacrifice everything that brings you joy, your well-being could suffer. Try to factor in one thing that’s fun — even if it’s small. You’re more likely to stick to your goals if it’s not all suffering.

“Maybe you want to earn a certain amount through a side hustle or you want to invest a certain amount in real estate — whatever it may be, work toward it. Make sure that your financial goals are ones that will adequately benefit you down the road, and preferably choose goals that will benefit you consistently, like setting up passive income.”
