How to save more
It made me
good
 "It's amazing how addicting saving can become. "
How I did it: I am not rich, but I have gotten into the habit of saving some money once a month in addition to the money that is automatically withdrawn. I love going to the bank to make those deposits- it's actually the same high as a get from shopping. Lessons & tips: Even if it is just an unexpected $20 refund, put it in the bank. It adds up and it keeps you from spending it on stupid things. |

Having to agree to a 10% cut in hours and pay for the next 6 months has put this one on the back burner for now!

I’m actually a pretty good saver. I have enough F*Y&^& cash to sit on the sidelines for a few years. However, it’s not good enough. I’d like to build up more savings to potential fund my own business venture – Yoga Studio or , the other idea, an organizational development consultancy (my theory is that management practices are still rooted into 20th century practices and need a complete overhaul and approach)

The plan
9 months ago
My job started taking 10% out of our paychecks and I believe we should get it back in March. Once they give me my 10% I’m going to open up a savings account at my bank where my checking account is and have them automatically remove that 10%. Hell, I gave it to my job so I can give it to myself.

just set up standing orders to transfer regular monthly payments from my current account to my savings account – so i’ll be saving a little each month without thinking about it!

I spend too much. I know it sounds dumb, but I want to save for retirement and such. I’m starting a roth IRA soon.
