In the spotlight: Purdue Saves Week
Today's tip: Saving and investing
Ask your bank or credit union to automatically transfer funds each month from your checking to your savings account. Even as little as $10 or $15 a month helps. After all, that's $120 or $180 a year. For more information, go to www.americasaves.org/strategies/tight_budget.asp or stop by the Purdue Saves table, which will be in the main lobby of Stewart Center each day this week between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
