ING Direct has developed a new widget which enables householders in the UK to see, on average, how much householders are saving in selected areas. This is a fantastic and useful way for customers to be encouraged to put aside something - no matter how small - each month.
Householders predicament
In our present economic state, it’s really difficult for first-time buyers to get on the property ladder. In many cases, younger people can’t buy their first property without the help of parents or grandparents who’re already there. Once you finally get the chance to buy your first home, it seems like your Savings Accounts are bled dry by all the necessary (and many times - unplanned) out-goings that occur from buying property. Not only do you have to pay countless, arbitrary fees, but you often have to do repairs you didn’t know existed.
Unlikely savings account?
With the above considered, plus the current credit crunch we’re all experience, you may think it unlikely that anyone would have a savings account. Not so. Householders have realised that our situation means credit is harder to attain. If there are any losses of jobs or damage of property, it means that some money in the bank is not only convenient, it’s vital.
ING Savings Widget
UK householders can use this widget to see how much they’re saving in selected areas. This is a great way to check out your own area and see for yourself. Why not try out the ‘My Comparison Table’ in the widget below and leave a comment to let me know how much you could be saving.
