Find a savings account.

Do you remember your first bank account? You probably had just one to start with; this account was where you deposited your earnings and withdrew cash. You may have used tools like a debit card and even billpay to make purchases and pay monthly bills.

There are many different reasons you might want to save money. For instance, you could be storing those dollars for a specific purchase in the future or simply setting aside funds for the proverbial “rainy day.”

Whether you always travel over the holidays, could really use a big summer trip, or just want to get away for a few days, planning a vacation can be an exciting motivator. However, traveling can also be pricey, with the average week-long trip in the U.S. costing $1,758 per person, according to recent data. This means that for a family of four, you could easily be looking at over $7,000!
