A savings goal is a specific target you are working toward, an emergency fund, vacation, new laptop, or home deposit. Naming the goal and tracking progress makes it easier to stay motivated and resist spending money you meant to set aside.

How to set a savings goal that sticks\n

Start with a clear amount and deadline. Break the total into monthly or weekly contributions so the target feels achievable. Keep goal money in a dedicated Savings Account, separate from everyday spending, so you are less likely to dip into it for non-essentials.

Use Automated Savings to fund the goal without relying on willpower alone. Even small automatic transfers add up, especially when interest compounds on your balance.
