It won't take long, and you will not regret it! When you write down your goals, the chances are increased 100-fold that you will achieve them.

- How much do you want to spend on 2007 Christmas? Divide the number by 12 and start saving now!
- Are you getting a tax refund? If so, write down a plan on paper that details how/when/where it will be spent/saved/given.
- Are your children going to college? How much have you saved, and how much will you need?
