Save $10,000 (read all 6 entries…)

Worth doing!

So close I can taste it!  — 3 months ago

By my next paycheck, I will have saved my $10K! This means I’m at least a month ahead of this original challenge.

I’m already thinking about getting to that $15K mark…

Thank You!

Honestly, you have to have the willingness first. Secondly, you have to set realistic goals for how you save on a monthly basis. Obviously you can’t deprive yourself completely of social activities or a little bit of shopping here & there. So be reasonable in setting parameters of how much you can spend monthly, and MUST save monthly.

Then, lastly, set consequences for yourself if you don’t save a certain amount. Mine was, if I didn’t save my $1,000 a month – then I had to cut back on eating out or shopping (my VERY weak spot).

Keep your sight on the goal & think about the long term benefits from saving $10K.

Good luck & Ciao!
