Work through the steps
Separate your goals
Write down what you are saving for and when you will need the money. School costs, equipment and unexpected expenses can each have a different plan.
Match your income rhythm
Are you paid monthly or after selling a harvest? List essential spending and existing repayments first. Choose an amount you can set aside and review it when your income changes.
Review your progress
Compare your plan with what you actually saved. If there is a gap, review the reason and adjust the amount or the timeline. Use the savings-goal planner to work through your own figures.
