Find the Total Cost and the Amount You Want to Save
Talk with your doctor about the total cost for your plastic surgery. Take into consideration the cost of your prescriptions and special clothing or bandages that you will need during your recovery time to give you a more accurate figure. Now decide on the amount that you want to save. Are you planning to just put a small amount down and work through payments? Do you want to pay half first and then make payments or are you looking to pay the entire bill at the time of treatment? Once this decision is made you can set up your savings goal.
Set a Deadline
When you know the amount that you need the next step is giving yourself a deadline. Do you want to have the money before you set up your appointment for plastic surgery? Do you want to go ahead and set up the consultation to find out how much time you have? Whatever you choose to do is fine,
but having a set date will keep you motivated and on track to save.
Think about how many weeks or months you are giving yourself to save. Then, divide the amount that you need by the number of weeks. This will be the amount of money that you need to save each week to make this dream a reality. If you know that you are going to be receiving a large amount of money on a certain date, like a tax refund or bonus at work you can figure this into your plan.
Create a Special Account or Location for the Money
If you have access to a free checking or savings account set a new one up with just the savings for your plastic surgery in mind. You can set up an amount each month that is automatically transferred over from your current account or you can just make deposits every time you have a little cash on hand. Some people prefer to keep the money at home in cash. They can check on their funds, count up the cash, and find out just where they are at in their savings. If you are planning to take this route, be sure to create a safe place within your home. You may even want to go to the store and pick out a special container or bank to keep track of your money. Every time you place the money inside you will be one step closer to your goal!
