Inspiration
There’s nothing more optimistic than creating a goal, working toward that goal and
finally reaching that goal! People often tell us we’ve helped them get out of the
habit of using plastic they can no longer afford, basically helping them rethink
their relationship with their money. They are inspired to simply change their ways,
get off on the right foot, or to dream big about the things they want to do and
the places they want to go. We asked our customers to share why they use SmartyPig.
What they sent us tells our story better than we ever could.
"I recently moved to Napa, California to take a job at a
vineyard. It is my dream to start my very own vineyard. This is a pricey dream to
pursue, and I am hoping that this contest will help get me started. I'm not a cinematographer
and may not have the fancy equipment other people entering this contest have, but
I'm the only person willing to risk pneumonia to make my dreams a reality."
"Ever since I heard about the concept its been a dream of
mine to bring it to life. In doing this we've invested hundreds of dollars and spent
countless hours building the fuel cell components. But after hitting a major roadblock,
we are saving with SmartyPig to bring the dream to life!"
"I have so many dreams and ambitions, but with all these
dreams it seems that money and finances always play a part. But with the discovery
of Smartypig and their easy social networking way of saving money, I've found it
a lot easier to set away money for my future endeavors, along with the help of all
my close friends and family."
About a month ago my car blew a head gasket... I'm saving
for a newer more reliable vehicle.
"I put my savings in Smarty Pig because it is consistently,
month after month, one of the highest interest rate banks for savings accounts.
Keep your money FDIC secured. Other banks advertise for high interest rates but
drop them back down after a few months. Family, Friends, and community members can
add to you savings goal too, which is great for anyone doing fundraisers, etc."
"Banking with SmartyPig is helping me with my goal. I plan
on returning back to California to attend Comic-Con and see the people I left when
I initially moved out east. This is my story."
