People save money for a variety of reasons, which include large future purchases (higher education, vehicles, and homes), entrepreneurial endeavors, retirement and unexpected events. Check out the .gif of Tiana from the Princess and the Frog. What is her savings goal? She works as a waitress in a restaurant in New Orleans. How do you think she can save money for her fund?
