DEFINITION
Sinking Fund
Basically, if you are saving up for a $3,000 engagement ring, you’re going to create a sinking fund for it.
If your goal is to buy it in 6 months, you’re first going to create a separate bank account (or just get an envelope) for it. Each month, you would put $500 into that account. And after 6 months, you’ll have $3,000 set aside for that purchase.
You can do this with anything (a down payment, a car, a wedding) so you can plan ahead before making a big purchase.
PRACTICAL ADVICE
Facebook Events
