The Saver First Fix is Put It to Work: pick one amount sitting in savings and move it where it can grow.
Savers are great at holding money. The next step is giving one piece of it a job, so it can grow instead of sitting still.

“It's a lot more clear. You provided the steps to it, and I'm just following it through... At first, I'm like, should I do this? Should I do that?”
