Putting even a very small amount away each week can help families deal with expected costs, such as Christmas, or build a buffer to help if something goes wrong. This can reduce worry and help people to feel more in control in unexpected times. 

Starting to save regularly, even with a very small amount, can help form a habit of saving which can be adjusted depending on personal circumstances at any time. 

Those who have outstanding personal loans or other short-term debts should consider paying these off before starting to build their savings, as the interest charges on these types of loans and debts are usually quite high.

We've also created a handy leaflet linked below, which provides more tips on saving.
