I learned about savings, savings is when you do not spend a portion of your money. Three reasons to save is for a new game, or for college or for a new toy. Income is the money you make from a job say I would get $5 a hour and I work 6 hours I would get $30 but then the government would take 5% so I would end up with $24. The recommended amount you save is 10 to 20%.

Three accounts at a depository institution that earn interest are savings accounts, money market deposit account, and a certificate of deposit.

My Smart Financial Goals
My short term goal is to buy a new game. I would need $60 for this game it comes out February 2012 so I would need to save $20 per month to get the game. My intermediate goal is to save up for a paintball gun for $200 by December 2012 I would need to save up $10 dollars a month to have enough. My long term goal is to get a car when I am 16 on April of 2015 I need at least $10,000 to get one. So I would need to save up $2.500 per year to each that goal.
