re: Ok, I want to save some money

There's good advice in here but the most important one is what Colonel Hapablap mentioned about sticking to your budget. Paying yourself first really = paying the bank if it's only going to cause you to bounce checks and pay NSF fees. Get a program like quicken or even just an Excel spreadsheet and every day write down every purchase you make. That way you won't be surprised at the end of the week when you've blown $500, you'll catch yourself around the $200 level and realize you've already had more than a weeks worth of fun.
