Our savings should be viewed as an essential expense, rather than something we contribute to if there's money left over. By flipping the script in this way, we empower ourselves to build financial security and reach our savings goals. 💸 Here’s how to put this into action: 🔹 Establish Savings Goals: Define short-term and long-term goals (like a vacation fund, emergency fund, or retirement savings) and the amounts you plan to save for each. Set-up accounts specific to your goals (separate from general savings and checking) and name them accordingly (“Disney Fund,” “Wedding Savings,” etc.) to help keep you focused. 🔹 Set Up Automatic Savings: Start by automating your savings. Schedule a monthly transfer to your savings account(s) as soon as you receive your paycheck, so those funds are out of sight and out of mind! 🔹 Create a Budget: Analyze your income and expenses to see where you may be able to cut back and put those extra funds toward your savings goals. This will also help you determine what percentage of your earnings you can comfortably allocate to savings. 🔹 Live Below Your Means: Prioritize needs over wants. Make mindful spending choices and resist impulse purchases to free up more money for savings. 🔹 Review & Adjust Regularly: Periodically assess your financial situation and savings goals. Adjust your plans as your income and priorities change, ensuring you maintain a saving-first mindset. Want help building a savings plan unique to your goals? Interested in savings options, like share certificates or money markets, that can help you grow your money even faster? Let’s talk!
