Okay so I currently have a savings and checking account w/ a bank for scholarship reasons now but I'm looking to start another account at a seperate bank. I want to start an account and just have a % of my paycheck be transferred to this new account. I know it sounds kind of silly but if i keep all my paycheck going into my current account, it seems to get spent awfully fast and if i had a completely seperate account only for savings, it would accumluate rather than me spending it.
My current account is primarily just for spending and the scholarships for school but I'm hoping that a new account could help more for the long run like when i get out of school. However, I have no idea about banking or anything like that so other than interest rates, i'm not sure what to look for when I go start up this new account. I'm just hoping that someone out there might be able to tell me about some of the things to check out or point me in the right direction about what I should do before i go put my money in the bank.
