I'm saving for my emergency fund this year. I hope one day I can do this challenge for something more fun

While mine is being primarily used to fund the emergency fund, next year I plan to use it for my vacation fund. That will make it even more of a fun challenge for me. Great question!

I'm using mine to add to my emergency fund, but I do intend to reward myself with a Keurig coffee maker that I've had my eye on for years!

I am primarily using this challenge to fund our emergency fund, like many others. Yet, we have discussed using this as a vacation fund as well. We even gave it a name, "Ecuador." Seems to make it seem like a reality that way!

Well, I wanna save something for a new car that I wanna buy. I wanna sell my old one and adding the saved money I could afford a new car.

I use the challenge to save for my future may be contingencies or for the future too.

I'm thinking I'll use it to open a Roth IRA

For me there are 3 types of savings

Short term
Mid term
Long term

Short term is for any type of financial crunches (bills, medical expense, tax, etc) needed to paid at the month end.

Mid term savings is generally for buying house, holidays, etc.

Long term is retirement plan.

Mine is a short term, need to pay for those new tires/new eye glasses/Insurance deductible right now instead of pulling out a credit card fund.

I save mostly for my children's education. Also a part of saving goes for buying a new house. It is important to find a balance between saving for the things I needed and spending for daily needs.

I'm trying to save for a car and then college.
