SMART Goal Timeline By Morgan.diane01 Sep 1, 2019 I make a plan to save $2,000 for college tuition for college next year fall 2020. Oct 1, 2019 I will start saving $200 from each paycheck and put it into my savings account Feb 1, 2020 I will have half goal amount of money saved. Mar 1, 2020 I worked more and made more money this pay period. I will save $300 this time instead of $200. Aug 1, 2020 I got into the college I wanted, it is time to pay tuition. I exceeded my goal of $2,000 and will put that money towards it.
