cute strategy for saving money for wdw

We had a guest speaker at our church this afternoon who was really good. His focus was on how we manage the 90% of our money that we still have after tithing to the church.

When he talked about saving up for our dreams, he showed us a tool that he uses and that is available free on his website. For whatever he's saving for, he divides the price by the number of squares in the picture, then colors in a square each time he's saved that little bit of money towards the goal. This is something you can put on your refrigerator and involve the whole family in.

He had one for saving for Disney World, so I thought I'd share it. Here's the link to it on his website.

This is Suzy Q'Disney one of the Office Guides. This is a fun link. However Passporter is not endorsing this site or content. We do not advertise.

Yeah, Joe Sangl has a great sense of humor! He showed us that one in the seminar as a joke to make the point that you can use this method for ANYTHING!
