What’s your next big savings goal? Whether it’s a trip to the mountains, a down payment for new home, or an extra month of emergency savings, it’s always a good idea to set a “SMART” savings plan to keep your budget on track. Every SMART approach should be: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.

That shouldn't come as a surprise, though. While they've been popular for decades, debit cards have advanced with technology to make transactions faster, more secure, and easier to track.
