Account opened! 2 months ago

I opened an account this morning and deposited 40% of my goal to it. Yay! That was a big step toward my goal.



Untitled 2 months ago

I just increased my automatic weekly savings from $15/week to $25/week. It’s nice to see my savings grow a little each week and I don’t even notice I don’t have that extra money to spend.

Savings is growing little by little. I don’t even miss that little bit of money each month. I hope to increase my savings once I get a new job.



While I haven't 3 months ago

opened an account anywhere yet, I have been adding to the money I have set aside for this purpose. As it sits in my drawer (yes, I realize the cliche here), it grows. :)



Money set aside 3 months ago

I’ve pulled the money out to open the new account with so I won’t spend it, but I haven’t made it near the door of another financial institution yet.



Short term goal. 3 months ago

Within the next 2 weeks I want to open an account at another institution and deposit some money. I have a little from the purchase of the property. It is meant to fix up the property, but I need a nest egg for any problems with the property. So I will put some money in that account so it is not as easily accessible to me.

Getting there... 4 months ago

I spend way too much money eating out almost every day, but it’s tough when you live in the heart of San Francisco. Now that I’ve been in the city close to a year, I’m getting over it and I’m starting to cook and eat in more. Half way to my goal, and that includes all debts paid and full. =D

Just started saving $15/week in a new savings account I set up. It’s not much but gotta start somewhere.

I just set up a goal savings acct. through my bank that deducts a set amount from my checking and puts it into the savings acct. I think this is a great idea.
