Map a savings goal

My goal is to save [AMOUNT] for [PURPOSE] by [DATE]. I can set aside roughly [AMOUNT PER MONTH] and my starting balance is about [AMOUNT].

Show the simple math in a small table, say whether the target looks realistic, and give three ways to close any gap (earn, trim, or extend the date). Use only the numbers I gave you and show your arithmetic so I can check it. This is education only, not financial advice.
