    My sister is getting married next Aug, so being able to pay for my dress and hotel and anything else that needs to be done in Cash.

    Hi! We’re working towards paying off debt while also trying to recover from some income loss over the summer.

    We also have moved in the last month, so we will be saving towards more money in the savings account for any unexpected expenses that come up with the house, they always do.

    We have some bills to pay off and really need to start saving for Christmas and birthdays in January!

  49. Camille says

    I’m saving for a couple of things: Husband’s school tuition, paying off debt, and bday celebration for a big bday for my Mom!

  55. Rose says

    You know I always say ” I don’t gamble” Hmmmm… Seems like this was probably a form of gambling. : (

  60. The Peaceful Mom says

    Good for you for realizing that Rose! So many people (not you) spend hundreds on the lottery and other “games” trying to change their financial situation when they have the means to change it themselves by spending more wisely. I am so excited for you to make that change!

  72. Liz says

    I would like to pay off credit card and medical bills to raise my credit score. Van is getting older and very high miles. We will need something else between six months and a year. Also my emergency fund is gone and it is still hurricane season. Eek!

  73. Kathi Jo Dugas says

    There are several things I need to do…rebuild our savings account and save for some outdoor home repairs.

  74. Cathie Adamietz says

    I need to build that 1,000 emergency fund up again. I keep running into emergencies, washer dies, need new tires, car repair…help!

  77. AMBERLYT11 says

    Thank you for hosting this! We need a kick in the pants to continue with our saving efforts! There is a long list of things to save for, but number 1: an emergency fund so that we can stop using credit as a crutch.

  81. Heather Williamson Neziol says

    Saving to boost my Christmas savings fund. Winter will be here before we know it!

  97. Astrid vd Velden says

    Saving to pay all debts and for christmas. And to save money for a visit to my aunt in houston,wich i haven’t seen in 25 years,and she is 75 and she is not so healthy. That’s my goal

  118. Cristina Schatz says

    Pay off debts–I am a teacher and don’t get paid during the summer. We always end up using credit to get by until the first paycheck.
