Your first savings account should be an emergency fund. Start with a goal of saving five hundred dollars and then work towards six to nine months of expenses in this account. Don't touch this account unless you lose a job or some other disaster occurs.
To save for vacation or a major purchase, have a second savings account that you add to on a regular basis. This way, you won't touch your emergency fund but can put away money for other expenses. Keep both of these accounts a regular savings account where you can get to your money quickly.
