Currently the only "savings" I have is my 401k that I put 4% and that is matched by my employer 50%. Do I count that deposit to the 401k as part of the 10% savings or do I deposit 10% of my montly net?"

Citibank now offers something called an "eSavings" account. It features a 5% APY and supports linkage to external accounts. Seems like a good choice that serves as a holding area between a primary account (checking) and an investment account.

I love your site. I'm hopeless at this financial stuff, but I'm trying to get an early start. I'm 20 right now and have some cash savings, but no idea what to do with it. I'm trying to follow your investment steps right now. Thanks again! Hey Ramit!

I have tried two of the suggestions and highly reccomend them. I did one of your first suggestions which was to figure out how much money I was spending per week and then I took the advice further and applied it to the reccomendation of shopping at BondRewards.com So now when I do shop, I shop at BondRewards.com. I have been doing quite a bit of shopping because I just moved out of my last apartment and in to my own home. I have already earned a couple of US Savings Bonds. Thanks for the advice.
