Savings Update

Today, I officially passed the $1,000 mark in my savings account. It has been a long time since I've saved over $1,000. Currently I have a little below $1,300. Yeahhhhh, gooooo meeeeeee.

I will not touch, I will not touch, I will not touch, I will not touch.

$600 is currently in a CD until January.

I will be opening another CD in about two weeks. This will be after next paycheck and it will put my savings to over $1,700 (including the CD). I will transfer at least $700 for my next CD.

CONGRATULATIONS!! your well on your way to your goal...what happens if you have to take your money out of a cd? do you get penalized?

Yeah there is 3 months interest penalty. The strategy I am using is to make sure I have a few hundred dollars available before I transfer to a new CD.

It also helps that I get paid weekly.

The difference between people with savings and people with debt is patience
