How I did it: I thought I would have to wait until after I paid my car off (great big payments!) to begin saving up for an upright grand, but my grandmother gave me some money this year, and I realized that if I bought a portable 88-weighted-key keyboard, I would have exactly what I wanted! So, in November of 2009, I researched and bought the Korg. Maybe someday I'll get the grand, but this is actually preferable for now, since I live somewhere I plan to leave in a few years - much easier to move!

Lessons & tips: Let yourself be flexible and realistic about your goals. Allow them to change to reflect your current reality, which includes who you become over time.

Resources: The existence of technology that allows the creation of something that is in many ways a better version of something else.
