Awesome! You'll meet your Big Trip goal in no time with this upbeat plan of yours. We're doin' some No Spend Weeks to make our goal grow. So far... it seems to be doing pretty good. Especially because weekends are always the hardest for us. MoneyFunk’s last blog post..Menu Plan Monday

I love seeing those number grow! For me, I get motivated when I set goals with a deadline. Then I plan backwards and break it down into mini-goals, so that it's 100% attainable. Then I play a game with myself and *secretly* try to beat the mini-goals, so that I can give myself all kinds of pats on the back. LOL It may be childish, but it's fun and it works! kirwin’s last blog post..Living mindfully — Conversations with Furniture

I like to run numbers of "what if" scenarios for saving to see how much we could save if we worked really hard at it. Seeing those numbers is often very motivating for me. Also, looking at my net worth on mint.com and seeing that it's so close to being a positive number (including our mortgage that we still owe), is very motivating. I would love to finally have more in savings than what we owe on our mortgage! I would love it even more to no longer have a mortgage! Great savings for June. We, rather, bought a new camera and a swingset for our boys...spending quite a bit. But, both totally worth it! Mama Bird’s last blog post..Learning to Swim
