How Do I Plan for Big Purchases?

There's just no getting around the fact that life is expensive. And unfortunately, some of the purchases that can truly make our lives better can be some of the most expensive ones out there. The good news is that if you can turn your big purchase dream into a savings goal, you'll be more likely to take the steps necessary (such as changing your money behaviors) to make it happen. After all, a goal is a dream with a deadline and a plan.
