Do you have your savings account set up to automatically withdraw some money from your checking account the day you get paid? Or an automatic deposit into a Money Market, or other investment account? Paying yourself first, and doing it automatically every month is the BEST and easiest thing to do. If you do that, then you KNOW what's left is for bills and food, shoes, whatever.<BR/><BR/>I have to say, I am not perfect, because there's a little lingering balance on a credit card (which has 0% APR right now) that I am not paying down, but I save over 30% of my take home every month. Automating your savings hurts at first, but really, that is the best thing I have ever done. That and opening my ING savings account, which gets a way higher yield than regular banks.DanaDoesDesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503757210176535910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821865926544561212.post-48647130546183059682008-04-09T08:17:00.000-05:002008-04-09T08:17:00.000-05:00i am using pear.i will look into mint.i am glad to...i am using pear.<BR/>i will look into mint.<BR/>i am glad to know i am not the only one that blows at this grown up shit.terrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036562649617505098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821865926544561212.post-92111104189887598392008-04-08T22:32:00.000-05:002008-04-08T22:32:00.000-05:00I have the same problem.
