I am in the process of saving for a new car! $10K. The 100 gift card would be a great start! I have recently realized how important money is to my life and I need to get things in order.

$1,400 dollars for a new laptop (praying that this one doesn't die before finals) and $800 for next year's books.

I don't know if this is still open (I spend Saturdays catching up on all my blog reading! D'oh!), but hey, the vacation/i also need a new laptop funds have no shame ;)

Not sure what my goal would be. I'm buying a new car soon, but that wouldn't work with SmartyPig.

I have a SmartyPig account, and we are saving for a house downpayment (a seemingly impossible task here in the California Bay Area)!

I have several savings goals, but if I won the gift card, the goal would be to save for a car that I can pay for in cash so I can get rid of my car payments.

I would like to saving for a down payment on a home and build up my emergency fund. Not only have I made some financial mistakes in the past, but I am trying to make up for all of that.

Hi there! I am currently saving up to remodel my small, outdated kitchen. I have a side business as a caterer, so I pretty much live in my kitchen, testing new recipes and cooking with my two little girls. Every catering dollar I make is going towards my "kitchen fund." I opened a SmartyPig account last month after hearing about it from my sister, and I think it's a neat idea.

This would be a nice head start to saving for a real dining room table, instead of the one I currently have that is falling apart.

Hmm, $100. I'll take it! I'll honestly probably cash it out and invest it elsewhere but if it's a contest I'm in it to win it!

My immediate savings goal is to establish a decent emergency fund... somewhere around the $6000 range. I've never been too good at this... hence the debt. So far I've got about $500.
