Your Saving Goal
Saving feels slow until you can see it growing. So we’re going to make it something you can watch fill up.

You’ve got the book. Ren already walked you through this in Chapter 3. This page is your printable goal chart. Set it up on screen, or hit print and color in the bar by hand as you save.
Pick one thing you really want. Set the cost. Then each time you save, color in a little more of the bar. Watching it fill up is the secret.
This is your thermometer. The top is your full goal. Color in one block each time you save. Watch it climb.
Bottom is $0. Top is your goal. Split it into however many blocks make sense for you.
The One-Day Rule: while you save, wait one day before buying anything else you suddenly want. Every want you skip is more in the jar.
Ren’s reminder: The wait is part of it. That proud feeling when you finally reach the top? You can’t buy that. You can only save your way to it.
“Saving feels slow until you can see it growing. So make it something you can watch. Then it feels good instead of hard.”
