Setting and maintaining savings goals

You may already be putting some money aside into your savings account every month. However, this is not very specific. This can cause you to lose sight of your goal or give up more easily. iBilly can help you keep your goal sharper. We’re talking about setting savings goals. This way, you work more effectively towards your goal. You can also see more easily where you started and how far you still have to go.

What do most people save for?

Research shows that more and more people want to pay attention to saving in 2023. When someone sets clear savings goals, they are more likely to achieve that goal. Research shows that men are confident when it comes to achieving their savings goal. 85% of men think they will achieve their savings goal, while 79% of women are sure of it. It also stood out that 9 out of 10 people say they have sufficient knowledge to achieve savings goals. In general, savings goals are very similar. They often involve the following savings goals:

  • Saving for a financial buffer
  • Saving for a car
  • Saving for travel
  • Saving for retirement

How do you determine the total savings amount?

When you set multiple savings goals, it’s important to add up the amounts you want to save. This will give you the total amount you need. You can then divide this total amount by the number of months in which you want to save the money. This monthly amount can be saved in two ways. You can use one savings account where you save the monthly amount, but you’ll have to keep track of how much you’ve saved for each goal. Alternatively, you can choose to have different “pots,” each labeled with the name of your goal. You divide the monthly amount among the pots, and at any time, you can easily see how much you’ve saved for each goal.

When you set multiple savings goals, it’s important to add up the amounts you want to save to determine the total savings amount. Then, divide this total by the maximum number of “saving months.” There are two ways to go about saving the money itself. You can save for the entire amount or choose to create sub-goals. By dividing the monthly amount among multiple “pots,” you can make it easier to stick to your savings plan.
