​The 1% Monthly Raise. Increase your savings rate by 1% each month until you feel it. Automate the change on payday so you don't rely on willpower. When it starts to pinch, pause for a quarter and trim fixed costs instead of quitting. Redirect every unexpected dollar (refunds, gifts, windfalls) to new rate. Over a year, a 6% saver becomes an 18% saver without a harsh shock. Goal is a glide path, not a cliff.
