 TITLE: How to Save Money if You’re Still Employed During COVID-19 CONTENT: Don't Let Major Purchases Deplete Your Savings\n----------------------------------------------\nHave you got your eye on new furniture for your bedroom? Are you in the market for a new car? Big purchases can put a dent in your budget. However, you can cushion your budget by saving up money for that new furniture or new car. Here are four suggestions for how to do it:\n1.  Open a savings account designed just for the big purchase.\n2.  Set up automatic transfers from your checking account to your savings account.\n3.  Think small. Can't afford to put away $500 a month? Then go with $50. It might take longer to save up, but at least you'll be closer to your goal.\n4.  Collect loose change. Put all of your pocket change in a piggy bank or jar at home, and designate it for your big purchase. All of those coins might add up faster than you think. END
