How to save $15,000 by TheLostPhish

"Satisfying!"

How I did it: I had a bit of help along the way... my dad, bless him, pays my rent while I'm finishing my masters. He also instilled a drive to save since a young age. I try to say most of my pay checks from my part time job

Lessons & tips: Go through what you've spent in the last week, did you really need to by all those things? Sort what you need from what you want, and of what you want, what are you willing to give up?

Set budgets, and stick to them.

You gave me motivation

Very wise work. I have tried many times to do this, but now you gave me motivation again. I will sort my expenses in all (like monthly stuff) and what I am paying each week by analyzing last week, and do saving calculations per month, by omitting things I don’t need, then try to focus to get to the yearly amount. And I will also try to move that money into a saving account so that I can clearly see it and not use it. Thank you again! :-)
