The Groupon Guide to: Savings
Though the Federal Reserve anticipates that by late next year our current monetary system will be replaced by bartering goods for animal pelts, it’s important nonetheless to save money. Here are some tips for setting aside some cash:
- When cashing a check, immediately place 10% in a savings account by cutting the check into 10 equal pieces and instructing the teller to deposit only one strip. Remember to endorse all 10 pieces—if you fail to do so, the bank keeps the entire amount.
- Keep cash under your mattress. The oils produced by the human body will eventually seep through the bed and wash away the green dye, allowing you to sell the untarnished rectangles as high-quality bookmarks.
- Start a swear jar, a container that you swear you will put some money into.
- Hire a responsible robber to mug you and put your cash and old receipts into a money-market account.
- Turn it into a game. For every $100 you save, yell "Jenga!"
