I put half of my last paycheck into my savings..I’m going to put $100 from every paycheck into it from now on unless I NEED the money for an emergency or something..I’m planning a trip to Hawaii in May so it’s helping me save :) The only purchase I have made lately was a gift for a friend yesterday..With some of the money left over from my paycheck, I’m going to buy a pair of hiking boots..I need them, I don’t have a pair and am going showshoeing next weekend and for a hike the next weekend so yeah..I need them :)
