    The "for the future" bit is redundant because saving money automatically implies that it's for the future. It's impossible to save money "for the present" (not to be confused with saving money in the present) since money used in the present is being spent and no longer saved. So you can just drop that part entirely and your list doesn't have any inconsistencies anymore.

    Edit:
    Alternately, if you wanted to emphasize the "future" part, you could instead drop "money" since "saving for the future" usually implies saving money. Then rewrite the sentence as, "Our service can help you save time and save for the future."

    Can I just stab the sentence that made me cringe and erase it from my memory?

    The "and for the future" part sounds so off. I'm trying to think how I would rewrite it, but nothing's coming right now.

    I'm not sure how to word it, but it seems like the things listed don't really match. I see them as:

    • Save money.

    • Save time.
    • For the future. (wtf?)

    You can save time and you can save money, but how do you save 'for the future'? That's always changing so you can't save it. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for though. >_>


    In the name of the tune I will punish you!

    I either would have written it this way:

    Our service can help you save time, money and for the future.

    ...or something to that effect. >>' Then again, my self-taught ways tend to kick me in the butt.

    Edit: Looking at my first choice written in the comment made me B(... so yeah.
