I just increased my automatic weekly savings from $15/week to $25/week. It’s nice to see my savings grow a little each week and I don’t even notice I don’t have that extra money to spend.

Savings is growing little by little. I don’t even miss that little bit of money each month. I hope to increase my savings once I get a new job.
