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.

Progress Penguin connection

Open Goals or Savings in Progress Penguin and find one amount you are protecting. Connect that amount to this lesson: what should happen before you spend from it?
