1. Set no savings goals
Goals? Whatever. You’ll save if there’s money left over.
People don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan. You’ve heard that before, haven’t you? It’s true. I don’t think anyone sets out to be on a paycheck-to-paycheck plan by the time they reach their 60s. Yet it happens.
If you want to achieve something, write it down. Then write down the action steps you need to take to make it happen and put together a time line with dates as to when you are going to take those steps. If you’re married, work with your spouse on this.
