Savings goal planner

Pick a goal, say how many orders you can skip each week and see how long it takes to get there. This is simple arithmetic with no interest or returns.

Make the saving real

Skipped orders only count if the money moves. On the day you skip an order, transfer the amount to a separate savings account or a goal pot in your bank or payment app. If you leave it in your main account it tends to disappear into other spending.

Choosing a goal that keeps you going

• Small and near: a book, a good pair of shoes, a weekend outing. Reachable in a few weeks.
• Medium: a phone upgrade, a course, a trip. A few months.
• Long: an emergency fund of a few months of expenses. A long project, so celebrate the milestones.

A note on interest

This planner ignores interest and returns on purpose, so the answer is conservative and easy to check. If you later choose to invest the money, that is a separate decision where a registered adviser or your bank can help.
