The Magic Formula for Saving Goals
-
Saving goals can be things like a bike or a computer game. You can also choose a certain amount as a saving goal and save until you have, for example, 50 francs in your money box.
-
With a saving goal, you always know exactly what you are saving for. This makes it easier to avoid spending your money on things that you don't necessarily need, and helps you to reach your goal by saving.
-
Are there several things that you want? Then think about how much they cost and which one is most important to you. You can then set aside most of the money for your most important saving goal. Or you can save for one thing first and for another afterwards.
Do You Make Wishes to a Fairy Godmother?
Whether a tree house, a bike, or a fantastic vacation, unfortunately there is no fairy godmother to grant all of our wishes. To make many wishes come true, we need money.
But there are also things that we cannot buy for all the money in the world. For example, friends, health, or superpowers.
Do you have a wish that you can't buy?
