So, I created a savings maximizer account with Bank of America where I put most of my money in. I am starting to put $150 from each of my paychecks. With my next paycheck, I’ll be a little bit closer to $5,000 which I’ll be able to put into a CD. That will definitely help me get to my emergency fund goal.

I’ve completed my one year plan. Right now, I’m living in Palm Springs, Calif. and working for a much larger newspaper.
Now, to do the five year plan…I’m also including getting a dog and buying a house/condo
$1,500.

I’m slowly building up my savings account again. Suze Orman sez that I need to save eight months in emergency money. Soo…my goal is to save, gasp, $16,000. Okay, that does sound like a lot of money. So, my first goal is to save $3,000. Then, I can put $2,000 in a CD that I can’t touch. Wish me luck.
