New to Thrifty Tip Tuesday? Start Here.
Now, onto some exciting news:
I reached my goal of saving $15,000 for my next car!!
This day has been a long time coming! It is an amazing feeling to have that money set aside!
How did I do it? I set my goal and put every extra cent I could find towards it! As we all know, saving money doesn’t happen overnight. Saving requires sacrifice, commitment, perseverance and planning!
My Thrifty Tip: Make an intentional choice to save towards a goal. Have a number in mind. Make a plan to reach your goal (i.e. establish a budget, cut unnecessary expenses, coupon! etc). Revisit your goal frequently and review your progress. Set a realistic deadline to meet your goal. Share your goal with others (this will help keep you accountable)!
What is your goal?
What are you doing to reach that goal?
