I have $50 taken out of my checking account and put in my savings account, weekly.
It really helps when I really need money (like for rent/car payment/tuition) and it also helps if I overdraft from my checking... (which I just did two weeks ago!!!
)
Also, I sat down and planned out my budget for the next two months. I've written down in my planner when each bill is due and when I get paid. It's helped me not stress about if I've paid my bills on time, or not! Plus, I budgeted less money coming in from my paychecks, so I'll have extra money in my account to spend on clothes or something like that! (kind of like a free gift to myself!)
