Profound hey! So, a saving we are.
That quote & a related article I read has inspired me to be more deliberate with our finance. Here is a link to the article, http://www.nzherald.co.nz/personal-finance/news/article.cfm?c_id=12&objectid=11328011
I shall increase the monthly amount we contribute to our Super account, by 'our' I mean my husbands as I don't have a taxable income & therefore don't qualify to contribute to my super account, or so I believe.
We are also saving for Christmas (2016 & beyond) , family holidays & to have funds to repair & replace items about the house. We replaced the overn & dishwasher this year from our limited funds & therefore limited options.
So how do I plan to achieve these goals? Hmm
- Using this affirmatin from Suze Orman
- (having trouble removing the number bullets)
- Adding little saved amounts to the online savings account as they happen. I have $13.76 there already by doing this.
- Not giving up
- Being realistic about how long it may take & not getting discouraged.
- Adding 'found' money, like insurance refunds & once off things etc.
- Adding a regular amount by direct debit yet not leaving ourselves short.
Nothing earth shattering on that list but the target is set & now we get into the work off making it a reality. I used to think goals were achieved a lot simpler than through the choices we make each day yet it is quite liberating to realise that it is how goals become reality as that puts me in a position of power. Agree? Our last saving effort was mainly achieved frm windfalls & this time I want the satisfaction of making it a reality from our regular single income, maybe just to prove to myself that we can.
What target is in your sights?
