🎯 How to best allocate savings across multiple financial goals?
💵 Income & Fixed Costs
A young couple earning $9,500/month is juggling retirement, a mortgage, a baby on the way, and future education. They wonder: should we spread our savings across all goals, or focus on one at a time?
First, enter your monthly income and fixed obligations (mortgage, car payments, baseline retirement).
🎯 Savings Goals
Next, define your savings targets. The couple has an urgent goal (a baby fund) and several secondary goals (expanding the emergency fund, house repairs, and a master's degree).
💰 Current Allocation
If you spread your savings thin, you allocate a portion of your monthly surplus to each goal. How much are you currently putting toward your most urgent goal each month?
