Is that the money you saved from your birthday and christmas? You 12 bro? Holding money that way means you lose value due to inflation, idiot.

Are you just trying to start a savings account or do you have a more specific goal, such as buying a car?

Just keep that $366 in cash, homie. You ballin' out.

[doomsday57]

honestly something you really should do is invest preferably in stocks. For long term though pick a company or several companies that you think will be profitable in the next thirty years or so and you can make a decent amount

If you're planning on a dropping a few dollars in a savings account and expecting it to make you rich by drawing massive amounts of interest, you're sadly mistaken. Even higher yielding money market accounts will not accomplish this for you.

Personally, I'm a fan of savings accounts and having them set to draw from a checking account once a month. Make sure you don't have them linked otherwise and just contribute to it on a regular basis like you're paying a bill. The next thing you know you'll have a decent amount of money to put towards whatever you like.

It's all about self control and discipline.

[R2-D2]

invest in junk bonds and penny stocks. put everything into these. you'll be so rich.

If you have to ask whether or not it's smart to save money then you're a lost cause at this point.

This. Also, start a roofing company. As the United States fills up with more and more Mexicans you will be able to fill the jobs in your new roofing company with cheaper and cheaper labor.

I want a house or atleast some type of emergency fund.
No wife, No kids, No family.
Trying to plan out my future.

I drop about $100 into my savings each month to use for spur of the moment trips, or unplanned expenses. As a college student, I'd say I'm doing pretty well there.

If you've got a job, it's a really good feeling just to see the money pile up in there. Once you get past $1,000, it's almost a goal to just keep building it up.

Nice i'll make this a habbit.
Should i open a Savings Account at my Current bank?
I use Bank Of America but i hear local credit community banks are better for interest.

Junk bonds? are you trolling or being serious i can't tell lol.

Credit Unions are almost always better for interest rates, both for deposits and loans. I joined one in my college's town about a year ago, and couldn't be happier. I was using Wells Fargo previously, and switched after they started charging me to hold an account with them.

[BodyCount81]

I would open up a savings account at the same bank you use right now. You won't be earning enough to make it worth while to keep them separated. This will also make it a lot easier to transfer money in between your savings.

How old are you?

Xan, what were they charging you for exactly?

I can't quite remember what it was. I was charged like $10 per month for savings, and $5 for checking. I had a joint checking/savings account, much like the one that I've got with my credit union.

It wasn't a minimum balance fee, since I've maintained a pretty good balance in my account. I think it may have just been a fee to have an account. They said I could waive the fees somehow, but they never explained the process.

But the credit union I bank with now is working out much more nicely. $0.10 back on every purchase, 2.0% auto loan if I decide to buy a car soon (well, I'll probably get much more than that due to a lack of credit, but that's the rate they advertise), and an easy line for a credit card if I want one. All that with some sweet online benefits.
