Play it on payday, before you move money into savings, and whenever a big purchase tempts you. It takes two or three minutes. If you can, set up an automatic transfer on payday, so saving happens before you have to decide.

Why it’s written this way
Saving for a home takes years, and the goal can feel so far away that a single month’s savings seems pointless. This loop keeps the goal vivid and the progress visible. It opens with a simple image, every deposit a brick in the wall, that makes small amounts feel meaningful.
The next notes cover the habits that help most: pay yourself first, picture the place you’re working toward, and count small amounts. Then the loop frames saying no as a choice you’re making, not something being taken from you, and keeps room for small pleasures, because plans with no joy in them tend to break.
The later notes help you stay on track: monthly check-ins, adjusting after setbacks, and getting good information from people who know. The words don’t make the money appear. Your choices do, and the loop is there to keep them in mind. It ends with your eyes on the door you’re saving for.
