Where Do You Find the Money to Achieve a Financial Goal?

Where do You Find the Money to Achieve a Financial Goal?Question: I set a goal to save up $3,000 by the end of the year and get away to somewhere warm next January. After 3 months I have only managed to save $500. By the time I pay my bills and set some funds aside for spending there isn’t a lot left over to save. I’m single and while rent is expensive in Vancouver, I make a reasonable salary and should be able to accomplish this goal. I’m so frustrated, what am I doing wrong? ~Manjit
