(can even put a
progress bar on it!) - Imagine if your debit
card had a picture of your savings goal on it: your house with the words "paid
in full" or a picture of your baby posed with a college diploma and
graduation cap. At the register you can put back or hand back anything you
don't want. Look at your loot and choose to save for your goals. Post a picture
of the house paid in full - on your door so you see it as you leave. Maybe it
will remind you to go back and grab a piece of fruit and a travel mug full of
water. As you start paying it off early, find a way to keep track of your
progress - a calendar maybe for 2037 that you can cross the months off - as you
pay early. An outline of a house that you can color as a goals thermometer type
picture.
You can also reverse the concept and pigeonhole the money
for a future purpose. Consider keeping on paying your car payment into a
savings account (or better - a mutual fund) after yours is paid off to pay for
your next car in cash.
Keep yourself motivated. Keep yourself inspired. Keep moving
forward and FEED THAT PIG!
