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-goals 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 6000 in local currency goal with a 6-week deadline. The app tells you to save 1000 in local currency/week. After week 2, you only saved 600 in local currency total.

Progress Penguin connection

Open Goals and use “Setting your first goal” to review or create one goal. Connect the target and deadline to this objective: Create a named savings goal in your family bank with a target amount and a deadline. Record one action that would move the goal forward.
