Pick a Goal

Another short and simple idea from Mary Hunt - pick a goal. Make it specific, realistic, and measurable. Her example: "I'm going to save $500 within the next 5 months by transferring $25 every Friday to my savings account."

Ideally, most experts recommend having 3 months' income in savings. Yikes!! I know!! Maybe aim for one week first, then one month, and so on.... She also recommends hanging a sign or some sort of reminder to help keep you on track.

Any luck with trying something like this?
