How I did it
It made me
satisfied 
How I did it: I worked, worked, and worked! The large paychecks started rolling in and I have saved up a bit of a cushion, and it feels great! It took a few months, but it gets easier, I promise! Read how I did it…

I have a savings account at a bank that I do not primarily bank at, which makes the money a little harder to get to, therefore a little harder to buy things on impulse. Read how I did it…
