Saving Can Be Easy!
Use our Savings Tracker below to save for something specific.
You can also play little games with yourself to help think about saving differently…here are some fun ways to start saving extra money:
Loyalty Savings Game
If you have a loyalty or savings card at your local grocery
store, when you get your receipt you’ll see the amount you saved
that shopping trip. Transfer that amount to your savings account.
Matched Treats
Did you buy yourself coffee drink, special item, or other
small purchase just to brighten your day? Transfer the amount of
the purchase to your savings account right afterward.
Weather Day
Pick a day of the week. What was the high temperature that
day? Once a week, transfer a dollar amount equal to that
temperature to your savings account. For example, if the high was
78, transfer $78. If you need to start smaller, go with the
low temperature.
52 Week Challenge
Week 1: Transfer $1 to savings. Week 2: Transfer $2 to savings.
Week 3: Transfer $3 to savings. And so on… You can also start
with $52 in Week 1 and reduce by $1 each week.
Tip Yourself
If you accomplished a task today, tip yourself! Giver
yourself five bucks (or more!) for cleaning, working out or going
for a walk, spending a few minutes outside instead of looking at
your phone…whatever you did today that makes you feel good,
reward yourself! Then, transfer your tip to your savings account.
Videos and Infographics
The ERSGA website contains a wealth of information about your
plan and beyond.
The easiest (and shortest!) way to learn the basics about your
plan is through our fun, visual videos and infographics.
Each plan has a video, which you can find on your plan page. If
your plan has an infographic, you can also find it here:
All plan videos and infographics can be found under the Education Center menu. More infographics are on the way!
