  • Save Time - Need to send money, pay the babysitter, team dues, a fundraiser or a friend across the country? Use Regions Personal Paysm a personal payment service that sends money in as little as one business day from your bank to their bank in a snap — all you need is a mobile phone number or email address.
  • Save Money - Save money by keeping it at arm's length: If you direct deposit your paycheck, set your checking account to automatically transfer $50 or $100 every pay period from your checking to a special savings account that is strictly off limits. Within a year, you've saved $1,200-$2,400!
  • Save for the Future - Tired of hearing about "staycations" where you vacation at home instead of an exotic destination? Then use it to your advantage! Add up the airfare, hotel and dining out expenses for a family holiday away and then find a friend or family member with an idle lake or mountain cabin you can borrow — and promptly deposit the savings in your emergency fund or a retirement account.
  • Save Time - Identity theft is an insidious crime and can become a time-consuming ordeal to repair the damage done by thieves — the Federal Trade Commission estimates 33 percent of victims spend 40 hours or more resolving problems relating to their identity theft. Learn more about how you can protect yourself.
  • Save Money - Make a virtue out of necessity: every time you stay in and cook at home, make a note of the money you saved and transfer that to your savings account. The $10, $25 or even $100 you save will add up quicker than you expect!
  • Save for the Future - Manage your list of to-dos with Todoist.com, a handy free service that allows you to list, order (and reorder), create sub-lists and generally organize all the things on your work or personal radar. Yes, there's an iPhone app, too. Wedoist.com is the online project management and team collaboration version.
