The habit matters more than the amount at the start.
Steps to work through

- 2Divide the goal amount by the months you have to reach it.
- 3Automate the transfer for the day after payday.
- 4Keep goal money in a separate place from everyday spending.
- 5Review the amount every few months and raise it when your plan allows.
