It's been a while since I originally posted my 26-week savings plan, so I figured it was time for an update!

I looked at what my then-monthly income was and calculated how long it would take me to meet my goal if I simply duplicated my efforts up to that point. I visualized all of this on a whiteboard, then eventually moved it into an Excel spreadsheet Keep Reading
