I got $5,774.80 from ESPP in April and finished paying off the $6,000 car debt to be debt free. Just spent $2,211.20 last month for a vacation in Asia during the end of August. I have earned about $2600 in net cash in the past 3 months. Including the money for Asia, it would have been about $4800. Trying to save around $1800 a month for 3 months would have been $5400. So I was off by $600. I think realistically, I should try to start saving $1600 a month (assuming theres only 2 paychecks and not 3). My new realistic goal is $800 per paycheck, which should be very possible. I need to stop spending money on golf! So bottom line: SAVE $4800 PER QUARTER.

Stretch for $5000 per quarter!
