Specific Saving Goals To Increase Accountability | I've Paid For This Twice Already... http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/11/17/specific-saving-goals-to-increase-accountability/#comment-62625 marci Mon, 17 Nov 2008 19:36:14 +0000 http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/11/17/specific-saving-goals-to-increase-accountability/#comment-62625 So sounds like you need to work on a reward system... save $10,000 then splurge on some enjoyment. Save another set number and then splurge on some enjoyment.... Make those splurges, or purchases, things that you want but don't need, but would be good rewards for having met a goal :) Make the steps far enough apart that they require some work to get there, but close enough that they are attainable. Do not set yourself up for failure by having them too far apart... that would defeat the purpose. So sounds like you need to work on a reward system… save $10,000 then splurge on some enjoyment.
