This post is sponsored by TD Bank. I was compensated for writing it, but all opinions are 100 percent mine. Choosing the right bank and savings account for your family can be one intimidating decision! Yes, even for those of us millennials that might just happen to be on the older side of the sphere ;-) There are just so many banking options these days that it can get pretty overwhelming, usually resulting in us just throwing our hands up and saying screw this and picking a bank without doing too much research. Whatever you do though, PLEASE don't do that! Sometimes the boring, not-so-fun stuff is the most important and most beneficial for us in the long run. After all, we research other big purchases in our lives, such as that shiny new car sitting in the driveway and that new house our families are now filling with beautiful memories. Shouldn’t we put THAT much research into how we actually PAY for these fabulous must have items?!?! Trust me, I get it – researching banks and savings accounts isn’t exactly fun. Thankfully, for all of us that are totally clueless on how all things banking work, TD Bank understands and is here to provide us with expert advice about the advantages of a savings account, as well as other products and services to help consumers like us achieve all of our financial goals!!!! Yup, ,you read that correctly!!! TD Bank is here to help us crush our goals!! #GoalDigger I know saving for the future may be challenging for many families. Heck, pre-mommy days, the word savings wasn't even in my vocabulary! Learn from my mistakes with TD Bank holding your hand and leading you the way to financial freedom! TD Bank would like you to know that if consumers like yourself establish a good savings foundation today, they can increase their likelihood of future financial health. That's right, start making better financial decisions today and a year down the road, who knows what purchases you may be capable of making! Regardless of whether you’re single, married or have children, life is meant to be enjoyed and TD Bank's savings options make financial sense for people looking to do just that. Whether you dream of saving for a big purchase like a new home, a family vacation to see Mickey, or building an emergency fund, putting away that year-end work bonus or income tax refund is a great way to get started! Invest that big chunk of change into your financial future! Future you will definitely be thanking you!

We always put our tax returns and any year-end extras we have towards savings. It's a great way to help build the nest egg.

It's definitely important to make sure that you pick the right bank, one that fits your lifestyle especially if you have kids. It's a boring topic but it's something that couples should definitely talk about.

It is so good to talk about money as a family. The good times and bad, saving and meeting a goal and saving and not meeting a goal. These are real lessons that help our kids learn.

The reason I love our bank is because they make you feel important. They have a personalized approach to each and every customer. and they provide options for the most effective way for us to grow our savings. I also love that they have a customer service hotline available 24/7 even during holidays.

We really lucked out with our back. They are the bank we used for closing on our home and they have set us up with an account for my daughter as well as my husband and I. I also added on a business account and this credit union has helped me with everything I have needed along the way.

Little is more important to a growing family than finances. In fact, the number one arguments couples have is over finances, so it truly helps to pick the right banking institution.
