I've pretty much decided that I'm gonna stop first week of September and use those funds for my trip to vegas. I may or may not continue when I get back

[jays25]

Finally back on track with all the hours i've been putting in at work and going strong

 

[taz92]

I don't know what I'm doing. I mean what is the amount that would be considered a nice saving account? 10,000...15,000? Everyone just keeps telling me 3-6 months of rent an utilities.

That doesn't sound bad in all honesty, though of course that then varies based on your rent. Also depends on just how old you are too.

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Thanks for the update..

 

[2 RAWW]

[2 RAWW]

[fx2]

well im out. I made my last deposit last week. I withdrew everything and taking it with me to vegas tomorrow. it was a good run, hopefully I can continue when I get back.

 

[crazydav0]

still going strong ... only about 2 weeks behind week 37 goal. 

Last year i reached 85% of the target ... this year i should reach 90 to 95%. 

I already know i cannot go ham for the holidays ... 

Props again to thread starter ... i used to get excited from copping jays but it's an even better feeling to see the bank account increase every week 

 

[2 RAWW]

Still in this thing...gettting realllll tempting to spend though smh. Had to talk myself out of spending half of it on a pair of Yeezys today. Gotta stay strong until I book this trip to St. Lucia 

 

[monstar]

Still in this thing. I just put the money in Roth ira so i can't touch it

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Failed..

 

[minus28]

Yeah. Cashed mine out for a Disneyland trip. Started one for each person in the family. Mine and my wife' s took care of the trip and the 2 kid's took care of the food and souvenirs.

 

[2 RAWW]

Hit my money goal today 

Now I have no pressure as we move into the holiday season.

I feel super proud, I didn't think I would have the self discipline to follow through on this for a year.

Definitely planning this into my budget every year from here on out.
