After we adapted the ways to be a better saver one day we realized the that we have enough cash to stash. What will we do then? We might go directly to the nearest bank and open a savings account for our savings. But wait a minute - aren't we forgetting something? can we just go the bank and open an account just like that?
Of course not. We have devoted much time & effort to save such amount so we must be careful in choosing which bank we want our money to be kept.
Here are some tips to protect us when dealing with banks. Whenever we choose banks we have to make sure that we have considered the following points.
Three ways to be a better Saver
For sure there are different techniques to ramp up savings rate, but what I will share to you is I believe one of the effective strategies to boost you savings and prepare retirement with a larger nest egg.
Make it Automatic
You won't forget to invest if you set up regular deposits. Sign up to have the money automatically transferred from your checking account into mutual fund each month. Seven months ago, I enrolled in the retirement program offered by our company that deducts specific amount from my basic salary and have it deposited to my HSBC retirement account. Now I checked the amount and I'm very happy to see that it is accumulating slowly but surely. Not only did I started an autopilot saving, I also benefited from the the 3% employer contribution that my company is saving in my account. Surely a win-win for me.

Google Adsense is a multi-billion dollar online advertising program of Google that pays the publishers enrolled in their advertising program.

The adsense script will then automatically detect the content of the page and will start serving contextual ads from various online advertisers. Basically, that's how google adsense works, you may want proceed to google adsense site if you want to learn more about the program.
Considering the earning opportunity I enrolled, got approved and recently I received my adsense cheque via DHL. Here I took a snapshot if you want to see it and then the image below is the actual cheque. (Personal detail are intentionally hidden)
Although the amount is not that big compare to other adsense publishers out there, I consider this as a good start. If $290 can be earned, then $500 a month is more than achievable.
