Savings Plans
At First National Bank of LaFollette we look at savings in two ways:
First there is the traditional way with passbook accounts and certificates of deposit.
The second way, and perhaps the more important one, is the savings you gain by spending your money wisely. Think about this. If you have $5,000 in a CD and a rate 1/2% above the current market rate, at the end of the year you are ahead only $25.00. So in one year you have made just an extra $25.00. If you are spending your money according to a plan you can save that amount each week. So at the end of the year you could have saved $1,300.00 by spending properly, while your other savings account has provided you with just $25.00, a difference of $1,275.00.
