FAQ
Does interest make a big difference?
For short goals, not much. Over several years, a high-yield savings rate can noticeably lower the monthly amount needed.
What if I can't afford the monthly amount?
Extend the deadline, lower the goal, or start with what you can and increase it when income goes up. Any automatic amount beats none.
