Between paying a stream of monthly bills, buying groceries, filling up the gas tank and managing countless other daily expenses, it’s becoming more and more difficult for the average American to save for the big things: a college education, a new home, retirement.
Investing is one of the best ways to build up a comfortable financial cushion over time, but it takes diligence to allocate money for an investment account on a regular basis. Fortunately, there is an easy way to tuck away a few dollars, without even thinking about it, every time you shop.
To help people become more disciplined investors, Vesdia Corp. offers an easy savings program called Stockback. Through the program, shoppers earn unlimited rebates on the everyday items they buy from a network of more than 500 participating merchants, including 1-800-Flowers, Eddie Bauer, Hickory Farms, The Sharper Image, Media Play, Illuminations, Barnes & Noble and Sam Goody.
People participating in the program can choose to have their rebates sent to them via check or deposited directly into an IRA, mutual fund, money-market account or virtually any other savings vehicle they choose.
