Meet Julie; a young professional whose dream is to travel.

Julie is a young professional who’ll be turning 30 next year. To mark this special occasion, she’d like to take a trip to Europe, which she estimates will cost $10,000. She has already set aside $4,000 to make her dream a reality.

By entering the details about her project in the MyIdea tool, Julie can quickly find out how much she would need to save on a regular basis so she can go ahead with her project.

In addition to those projections, MyIdea also produces a detailed report that she can save, print or e-mail to her advisor. And since Julie usually has more than one idea for future projects, MyIdea gives her the option of developing a project scenario as well as a retirement scenario.

“Good planning is essential if you want your projects to meet your expectations. By starting to save now, you’ll give yourself more time to set aside the necessary funds; you will also help ensure you can increase your returns and reduce the amount you need to save on a regular basis for your project. It’s a simple way to stay on budget and enjoy your life to the fullest while you work on turning your favourite ideas into reality,” says Tamima El Ahdab, branch manager at National Bank in Laval.
