What caught my eye was the ad below where you save money every time you pump gas. Wow, has that ever gone up!
And the reason most people give for NOT saving money is that they don't have any money left over after shopping. This is a method of forced savings and for many people one definition of the best savings account is going to be "forced savings".
This also makes you keep the money for a longer term goal... as a college savings account.
