Every year, millions of people make the same New Year’s resolutions, hoping to change for the better. Some of the most popular resolutions include losing weight, getting organised, saving money, buying a house.

Put $10 a week into a savings accountÂ
Giving yourself an exact number you need to save helps you get a handle on the situation. It gives you a solid number to think about and with an amount like $10 chances are you would not notice that leaving your account. $10 can easily be spent without thinking about it, however if you are putting this money into a savings account then it will soon add up and you will see the fruits of your labor.Â
Start an emergency fund

Your savings account money can go on some nice things for you and your family, but you need a bit more when it comes to emergencies. There is a way to reduce these expenses by looking in home warranty coverage on various parts of your home, or the home entirely. For instance, well warranty is perfect to cover malfunctions to your water system, so you can feel safe in the knowledge that not only are you covered, but you also don’t have to dip too much into your emergency fund.
