How to Save $1,000: With Free Money Saving Charts
How to Save $1,000 With Savings Charts
Do you have a goal of saving $1,000? If so, the charts I’ve created below can help you acheive your goal!
First, you need to decide the timeframe in which you need to save the $1,000. I have created charts for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 months and 1 year that you can choose from.
Note: This post may contain affiliate links, which means if you buy from my link I might make a small commission. This does not affect the price you pay. See the full affiliate disclosure here.
If your timeframe differs from these, you can create your own chart as well. You just need to divide the $1,000 by the amount of deposits you will make. I recommend depositing weekly or biweekly. You can also choose to do so monthly, quarterly, yearly, or whenever works best for you.
You simply need to make sure that you are depositing the predetermined amount at each scheduled date. I recommend you set up a separate savings account with your bank to track your balance. It’s also easiest if you can set up automatic transfers from your checking account to the specified savings account.
Automating Your Deposits
The easiest way to save money with these schedules is to set up automatic transfers using your bank account. You can set up your deposit amount to be transferred into your savings on a timely basis. Most banks offer this feature.
For example, if you are saving $1,000 in a year using the weekly schedule, you should schedule $19.23 to transfer from your checking to your savings each week. You would stop the transfers at 52 weeks.
Keep in mind that most of these savings plans have a slightly different amount on the last deposit to make the total savings equal $1,000 exactly.
You can also make your deposits manually. All that matters is that you make the deposits on time and in the amount specified. If you stick to the plan, you’ll have $1,000 saved up!
