Contribute to a savings goal
About contributing to a savings goalYou contribute to a savings goal by transferring money from a bank account (usually a checking or savings account) to your savings goal account. The ending balance of your bank account appears to be reduced by the amount you contribute. But remember that in this case the ending balance isn't the true balance of your account, because the savings goal money never really leaves your account.
Also, transferring money to a savings goal account doesn't affect your net worth.
