Please play around with the numbers and get a good feel for how your money habits effect your long term results.  If you mess up the formulas in the spreadsheet, just download a new copy here.

Track Your Progress

After you have decided on a plan, save the new spread sheet to your hard drive.  Then at the end of each month enter in the actual amount you saved and you will be able to track your progress.  This will only take a few minutes per month, but will pay off big dividends over time and keep you motivated to spend less.
