<prompt> Human: Working 2 jobs, right now supporting my girlfriend while shes in schoolRight now i can effectively save 1500monthgf out of school in 1.5 years I can save 3000monthMy goal is to save 120,000 as fast as possibleHalf is a down payment for a 4plex which ill purchase as soon as i have that money and it may provide more income depending on the situationThe rest is for another dream.Ive been looking at high yield savings accounts but they dont seem to grow fast enough to make any difference relative to the amount of time ill be saving. Right now i estimate if i save diligently i should be done within 4 years. Are there any other things I can do to make my savings grow faster to shave off a significant time from my savings goal? Any ideas at all Im all ears for useful information.my plan is to purchase property so i have a good investment while i travel, i have friends who have been very successful savingliving off their income from a multiplex rental unit in alaska anyway where i live. Ive been in the same company for 7 years and have a good job as well as a profitable part time job which helps so i work 7 days a week but i keep sane by physical outdoor activities rockclimbing biking etc before and after work, and reddit and teamfortress 2 :thanks in advance :Assistant: You asked for ways to achieve your savings goals faster so here is one. Stop spending 1500month on gf for next 1.5 years, that will save you 27k. She can get student loans and then pay them off when shes done school.Human: Id say this depends on the relationship. If they were married, I would think itd be silly to pay interest later on something you can afford now. As a boyfriendgirlfriend thing though, the OP just has to think diligently about what the odds are of the relationship lasting, and if hes comfortable losing all of his money if they split. Not that being married guarantees a bright future, but at least theres a commitment on paper between the two people which is worth moreless to different couplesAssistant: were very serious but really that situation is already decided and im looking at how i can grow my savings with these conditions. shes very important to me and yes spending the interest later is pointless. plus when shes done she gets to support me while i go back to school ;  <response>: Hopefully.
