If I can find a job and start working I would like to work toward a goal of saving 3 months salary or $6-$9k. I haven’t worked out a timeline because I have to figure out a budget for the money I earn. Right now we live off my husband’s salary pretty much check to check and I stay home with our kids. So if I can start working a few days a week while he watches the kids I can make $1k/month. I’d like to sock away $500 a month but not sure I can after paying my credit card bill and sometimes that money will be needed just to make ends meet! I think I should at least start with 10% and put it into an account through direct deposit that is not easily accessible. Maybe I will look into one of these online banks that are FDIC insured that give bigger saving yields?
