How to Save $1,000 in Thirty Days
No one would argue that saving isn’t an important component of a healthy financial plan, but “saving” is merely a concept. Without having an idea of why saving is important, how much needs to saved, and how one intends to get there, it can be difficult to make any progress. Getting an emergency fund started is one critical reason to save $1,000.
"The best way to save is by having a goal for the amount you want to save, and a time frame for doing so. Without a goal you won’t know whether you’re saving enough, and therefore won’t be able to come up with a plan to achieve" according to Edelstein. Having an extra $1,000 in an emergency savings account in one month is a great way to get started. This article provides simple steps to get started on this path to saving money.
