- a car
- if I get the car i'm looking at for a reasonable price, then some minor mods to said car
- after that gotta put some cash aside for books in the fall
- then save up for black/"green" friday and hopefully get a decent deal on a macbook pro
- while also saving for an apt and some furniture that I need asap

As far as saving it's pretty easy for me since I've been doing it since I was little, scrimping on cab fair for lunch money, then kicks money, date money etc ....... I pretty much keep bills at a minimum, rarely go out and when I do find fun stuff that's free or discounted .... In most major cities they're websites that help you out with stuff like that

Be specific with your goals. Down to the most minute detail possible. Vividly picture what it is that you want.

Find out how much it costs. Exactly.

Decide when you want it.

Divide how much it costs by the number of pay periods (or months or weeks or whatever).

Put that amount of money aside each period.

Put any extra money towards that. If you can't save the whole amount, do what you can, and then make up  for it the next period. Re-evaluate your timeline if adjustments are needed.

Do this for everything that you want. Then, prioritize the list. Multiple things at once is harder. Try one thing at a time.
