November (Photo credit: Cape Cod Cyclist)
That’s right, we unofficially declared November to be “Add 1% More to Your Savings” month. So you can add that to the month-long observances like:
- No-shave November
- International Drum Month
- Sweet Potato Awareness Month
- and many more (see the list at Wikipedia)
In November we encourage folks to increase their retirement savings rate by at least 1% more than the current rate. It’s a small step, but it will pay off for you in the long run.
Below is the list of my fellow bloggers who have written articles showing ways that you can start to increase your savings rate, as well as showing what the benefits can be. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far – and watch for more articles in the weeks to come!
