How to save $1000 by ontheradio

"Really excited that I was able to this all on my own, it makes me feel like an actual adult."

How I did it: Wow, just realized that I actually finished this.  I was just scrolling down my list and remembered that I'd accomplished this.

It's not as hard as you might think you just have to be patient and have a little self-control.  Every paycheck I got I put half of it into savings.  I did that for a few weeks and it eventually added up to $1000+  

There were some days when I reeeeally wanted to dip into my savings but I never did (ok, maybe like once or twice).

Lessons & tips: As soon as you get your paycheck, take out a certain amount of money and set it to the side and don't touch it!  That'll only slow you down.

Resources: Seperate savings and checking accounts.
