It’s no secret around here that I am obsessed with budgeting. I learned my lesson the hard way when our family spent its way to the brink of bankruptcy.
I know it’s hard to accept at the time, but being broke does not define who you are. Please read that again.
Screwing up financially is not something I recommend, but it did shake me up to the point that I promised myself I would never, ever, ever let it happen again. I made the commitment to protect our family against the pain of being broke one small step at a time. It’s a journey I’m still on. But this time, I am intentional in my goal.
Learning to save didn’t come naturally to me. There always seemed to be a reason more pressing that I was tempted spend on. Setting a Savings Goal helped me see my Savings as a necessity rather than a luxury item.

How the Savings Tracker Works
- Print off the savings jar printable here
- Decide on your Savings goal and divide it into 14 mini goals. Write these amounts in each section of the jar. If you’re stuck on a number to choose: a good savings goal to aim for if you are in debt is a $1000 Emergency fund. If that seems too hard right now, pick a number that you feel you can realistically achieve within the next 6 – 12 months.
- Color in the jar as you reach your mini savings goals.
- Use the column on the right to tally up amounts saved in dollars.
