How do you save your money?

put a bit into a savings account, then a part in my 401k, then a part in investments... usually take just a bit and then at the end of the month if I have extra I set it aside

Money board, son

Take it out in small bills and bury in the backyard.

I go Albertsons and use the coin star machine - put the money on my Applebee's gift card. Will never be hungry again.

Certain amount every month then extra at the end of the pay period goes into savings.

By not spending too much.

My wife gives it to etsy.

I put rent payments in my safe every month until I need it. Last time I had to open it was to pay insurance

Auto withdraw all my bills, set the checking at 1200 after each pay check ( bi monthly) because i know i wont spend more than 1/4 of that on gas/food/random shite. Move everything else to savings. Watch it grow monthly. Try not to blow thousands at a time whenever I break a bench mark.

i remember when $20 was a big deal to me. after a few years of being financially responsible its a dif world. I feel broke when my checking drops under 500, even if i know i have 10K in savings. i fricking HATE moving money from savings to checking.


ETA:: i have 10% of everything automatically put into retirement fund, I never look at how much it is each month so i never miss it, it's like i dont even make that much. Then at the end of the year i get a new statement of how much is in that account, give a little jack knife " yes" motion with my elbow, and continue on about my binness

Use Mint to budget for everything we owe each month, ranging from as small as Netflix to the mortgage. Some of the designated budgets are towards saving for things (we have a car fund, travel fund, IRAs, etc. that get money every month as if they were a bill) Whatever money is left at the end of the month goes into straight savings, we don't roll it over to the next month for extra spending money.
