If I get paid every Thursday and my check is roughly $100 and I put back $20 every week for a trip, how long will it take me to get $2,000

If you put away $20 every week,
it will take you

$2000 / $20 per week = 100 weeks

to save up the amount you want to have for the trip.

We don't care what day you get paid, or the amount of your paycheck.

There are 52 weeks in a year ,so each week you put away $20 every week.It will take 100 weeks to reach $2,000.
