Where actually doing the math pays off

by ZombieSkittles on August 14, 2009

I got my tax back, and purposely put a healthy $1000 of it into the savings, bringing it up to a healthy $1400. I say healthy, because this is the most I’ve ever saved.

But that’s not the real purpose of the post. Doing some thinking, and it occurred to me that if I put away more from my fortnightly pay than I already do, I could reach my goal  in around two years. If I saved $500 a fortnight instead of just $200, that becomes $1000 a month, and $12,000 a year. That coupled with any little extras I get, should allow me to reach that much sought after goal that much quicker.
It’s so smart I can’t believe I didn’t realize this before. What a foolish thing to do. Awesome, yes?
