What is the easiest way to save money with just a small amount to contribute.?
I have two young children and a small income. I want to know the best way to save monthly for short and long term goals. I'm intimidated with the stock market and just want to have a small amount taken out of my checks and put in something better than a savings acct. From vacations to college for the kids. Does anyone know the best route to go?

There are college savings accounts, but I think a bank CD for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years would be good once the rates go up. Shop around at different banks for the best rate.

I suppose you could always go with tax lien certificates. Though alot of others may not like stocks I do. You do have to put in some time and effort in learning though as its not just buy xyz and hold and hope. There are plenty of free sites to educate you on this so I won't do it here.

If you don't want to take risk, just put it in the bank until it grows, then transfer the funds to a cd. It's insured by FDIC so you have nothing to lose.

ING.com is lower rate than Etrade.com try that for a high yeild savings rate. if you want someone for referral use evrythingisababy@gmail.com :)

Retirement accounts are good ways for the lower / middle class ranks to retire comfortable and well off.

Don't look for the big risk if you're not comfortable with it, look for funds and annuities that you can contribute small amounts to and build up over time. Since you have time, take it, be safer and keep a good amount in savings in case something unexpected happens, (and with children, that's not an "if", it's a "When").

You're asking two questions here.
1) How to save, and
2) Where to invest it?

To save more you need to do two things, earn more and spend less. You mention you have a small income. Can you improve it? A raise or promotion at your current job? More hours? A better job?

And then there's spending less. You talk about vacations and college for the kids. Can you afford both? Which is more important? I'd say the college. You can save more for college by spending less on vacations. Also we don't know much about your living expenses. Can you live in a cheaper place? Take in a roommate? Do you eat out much? These are all ways to spend less and save more.

Where to invest it? That depends on your time horizon. If college is several years out, you may want to set up a college fund invested in stock mutual funds. If it's coming up soon, probably a high interest savings account like ING Direct as suggested by another poster. Hopefully this helps.

If you have the attitude and habit of saving, "just saving" is just good enough. If you're investing for a child's future, that's considered long term, so a mutual fund may be good for you.

Yes, people with too much to lose cannot afford the risk of stocks. But there's no saving or investment too small, if you're willing to save, you'll get it.

PS, it may be hard to starve kids from toys.

Well first if you have bills, pay them off. The amount will continue to snow ball into a potentially larger amount to save. You should contact your bank to see if they have free financial advise also.
If you are young some places have programs where you can invest in a combination of risky and conservative stocks, or maybe a high interest mutual or money market account, or your companies 401K?

Try I-bonds. you can contribute as little as $25 per pay check. They are guaranteed by the US government. You can buy them online automatically. Real easy and a a great way to get started. I would also start to learn about the stock market in some way. It is very intimidating and a lot of people can loose a lot of money.
