Setting your first goal
Set your very first named savings goal and add it to your family bank right now.
In this lesson
Setting your first goal is part of My Savings Goal. This preview shows how saving connects to everyday family decisions such as earning, saving, spending choices, goals, approvals, or parent-guided money conversations inside Progress Penguin.
Today’s money mission
Imagine this situation: In your family bank, where do you go to set a new savings goal?
What you need to know
Every savings goal needs three inputs: what you're saving for, how much it costs, and when you want it.
Real-life example
Real-life money moment: You create a {{money:6000}} goal with a 6-week deadline. The app tells you to save {{money:1000}}/week. After week 2, you only saved {{money:600}} total.
