Saving for Investments
Written by Melanie C

Monday, 23 June 2008

For those who love retail therapy saving is difficult, but it can still be done. Even a small amount saved each week will mount up in time and it won't be long before you can get into investment therapy instead of retail therapy. The easiest way to save is to set up an electronic account and use the automatic direct debit feature to add a specific amount each week or fortnight. In this way you will hardly notice that it is gone - and you don't need to exercise that self-discipline of manual saving.

Once you see that good interest piling up, you'll be happy to add a bit extra every now and then. Many of these accounts have no credit card facility, making it harder for you to access the savings - and blow them on the latest must-have. It won't be long before you can use your savings in a managed investment fund. If you love shopping at the mall, think how you will feel if you can actually own some of it. A managed investment can be started with as little as $500. The managed fund often offers a better return than a straight savings account.

The biggest investment people make is usually in the purchase of their home. If you can show a solid savings history, when it comes time for you to take out that mortgage, you'll likely be offered a better deal than someone with no savings history.
