Digit analyzes your personal spending and automatically saves a certain amount every day, so you don't even have to think about it. You can set it up to put money aside for your next vacation, your student loans, or whatever you need.

Or maybe you save every $5 bill that you come across.

Or perhaps you set monthly challenges for yourself, like no dine-out March and essentials-only April.
