    For me I struggle with scaling back my goals, I want it all at the same time.

    I am currently moving money every 2 weeks to a savings account set aside for my car and pet health. I have one I set in case I lose my job so I am working to save 12 month income. I also have another for house maintenance. Finally a 4th one that is high interest. Once I have the car/pet set (one of my cats has dental surgery scheduled for Feb 2023) I will push to the high interest account.

      Well done, Your savings plans are all linked to important goals. It helps keeping the funds separate and yes you can always divert the funds into a higher interest account once you have completed your initial goals

    Right now my top savings goal is a down payment on a home. I have increased the monthly amount every year by $50. Outside of this I do 3 savings challenges each year and split that among my other sinking funds to replenish them.

    Do you recommend the same thing if you don’t get paid monthly but biweekly?

    • @wonder219
      @wonder219 Рік тому +4

      It's more convenient to save bi-weekly if you get paid bi-weekly coz you can predetermine how much of your bi-weekly pay cheque goes to savings.

      You can adjust the frequency based on your pay schedule.

      Start small, $20 or $25 dollars a month. Have that automatically deducted and put into an account you cannot access easily. Maybe a money market fund. Then every month add $5. Once you've established this habit and become disciplined, and you see your money growing after a few months, trust me this will be a great motivation for you to continue saving and increase your savings. I'm sure you can put aside $25 dollars a month. I put away $20 dollars earning less than $100/month (I haven't had a job in the last year).

      Everything that KAP849 said. Stay small and be consistent. Increase the amount every month or quarter. The most important thing is that you save something rather than nothing.

      Start by doing an automatic transfer to an account that you dont have easy access to withdraw from
      Start small ex $25 each pay most times the heart is willing but the pocket is weak
      Try not to spend your tax refunds if you have to spend only a portion
      So for every extra income earned pay yourself a percentage ex 10% or more & spend the rest if
      Once you start and see the money piling up you want to keep adding more

      Watch as many videos about savings and do self study to educate yourself on financial literacy. It’s possible. You can watch more of her videos.

      Forget "Single mum with X kids" unless you are receiving helpful advice from someone in a similar situation. You are "a lady that wants to start saving" and needs help. Just like someone else said in the comments, start small, just $25 a month and work up. You got this!
