It's a big purchase, and I keep putting it off to be responsible with my money. So now, here's an opportunity: I'll be getting this "extra" money any way. When I meet my goals, I'll give myself permission to spend it on something I don't really need, but definitely really want.

Maybe I should print out a picture and put it up on my fridge...that's what people do with pictures of bathing suits, right?

Sounds like a GREAT reward for meeting your goal - I say DO IT!!! And of COURSE you need to put it up on your fridge!
