Questions and answers
What is a sinking fund?
A separate pot for a specific future cost. You add a little every month.
How much should I save for a goal?
Divide the goal amount by the months until you need it. That is the monthly deposit.
Why is a vacation on credit a bad idea?
The joy lasts a week, the payments and interest for months. A savings pot gives the same rest with no debt.
