start saving money

I have set up a monthly recurring deduction from my checking account for $100. Is is a very slow start, but it is a start. I am going to focus on getting up to $5000 now.

Right now I have $112 in my savings account…
It can only go up from here.

I work really hard and I want to be able to buy things that matter to me instead of things that mean nothing. I want to think more long term before I purchase things. I want to create a budget and stick to it.
