I-O-U vs. I-O-Me
You’ve probably heard of an
I-O-U, but did you ever hear of
an I-O-ME?
An I-O-ME is money you
should be paying yourself each
pay-day in the form of a savings
account. According to the Penn
sylvania Bankers Association,
many people are so concerned —
and rightly so —with setting aside
money for all of their bills that
they often neglect to set some
thing aside for themselves in the
form of regular savings.
Note the use of the word “reg
ular”—that’s the real key to
savings success. If you save hap
hazardly, that is, putting aside
any funds that happen to be left
over after essential expenditures,
it’s pretty hard to build much of
a financial nest egg. But if you
regularly save a consistent
amount, week in and week out,
you’ll build up anicesized bank ac
count in less time than you think.

MAKING YOUR
MONEY COUNT
Consider this example. Sup
pose you set aside as little as $5
a week. If you deposited this
amount every week into your
savings account, can you guess
how much you’d have at the end
of 10 years? According to the
Pennsylvania Bankers Associa
tion, if your money earns 4 per
cent interest compounded quar
terly, at the end of 10 years, your
bank account would contain
$3,193.45. That’s with regular
deposits of only $5 a week.
So get into the regular savings
habit. Determine how much you
can afford or how much you want
to save each week—even if it’s
only $1 Then do it regularly
The Pennsylvania Bankers Asso
ciation suggests that you pay your
I-O-ME, as well as your I-O-U
Pay yourself first each week and
you’ll be on the road to savings
success. You’ll find it’s a good
way to make your money count!
