The short version
- Write the goal, the amount and the date.
- Divide the amount by the number of months.
- Review the plan every few months.
Write it down
For example: a goal of 1,200 in twelve months. Writing it down makes it concrete.
Do the arithmetic
Divide the amount by the months available. 1,200 over twelve months is 100 a month. If that does not fit the budget, change the amount or the date.
Make it automatic
Some people schedule a transfer on payday so saving happens before spending.
Check in
Every few months, compare progress with the plan and adjust if life has changed.
