This is the best first step to take because I wouldn't get very far with financing a SMART goal if I don't have anything financing it. I make the most money in the summer months, just because of not having school and having less dance than usual. So it would be ideal if I had a plan for money before summer.

If I'm going to spend a lot of money of skis and everything that goes along with them, I need to make sure that I'm getting a high quality brand, but also need to make sure I'm not spending a crazy amount on them. I'll research brands and figure out which brand would be the best option for me!

When summer starts, I'll start making a ton of money!! However, I still have to pay for gas and car payments. I would also like to have some money to be able to have fun with friends and experience summer! I will save 35% of the money I make each month to go towards my skis!

A big step in figuring out how much money I will be making is to make sure I know which pair of skis I want. This will help because I can keep track of how close I am to my goal and not save too much/too little.

After the summer is over and I made a bunch of money from babysitting, hopefully I set aside enough money to buy my skis!! I will buy the skis of my choice and hit the slopes during ski season!!!
