If one receives unexpected cash, put all or most of it into savings, but continue to set aside the regularly scheduled amount as well. The peraons will simply reach the savings goals sooner. If there is no longer a regular expense, such as when some one pays off home loan, set aside that money into savings. One will be paying to themself instead of somebody else.
