I can never seem to 'set it - and forget it', anyone else have that problem or is it just me?

I want, and it will become a need in the next year or so a new van. Mine is old and falling apart. We are saving as fast as we can. Every time I am tempted to buy something frivolous I remind myself of paying cash for a new car. It usually works, but it is hard to stay motivated for something so big. I struggle with it too.

I count myself lucky/blessed that I no longer have to watch the pennies when I go to the store, yet when I shop, I have my list in hand, still price compare, watch for sales, and cut coupons and argue with myself on purchasing something that's more of an indulgence than a necessity. Granted, I'm not as 'vigilant' as I use to be, but I know if I needed to really shave off some $$$ on the grocery bill I could do it. Hang in there and keep an eye on the future like you're doing and your goals will be met. Plus, they'll be even sweeter since you know the sacrifice behind it. Take care. Karen -
