You are exactly right, you won't miss it. And if you gradually increase the amount over time, you will accumulate a tidy sum in no time. Keep up the great work! Good for you! That’s great!

Just yesterday I set up a regular savings account which automatically takes the money from my current account the day after I get paid. I am a recent University graduate and have only just started working full time. I got my first payment the Friday just gone and I decided that if the money goes straight into a savings account now I am not going to miss it because I will never get the opportunity to spend it.

It is so important to our future. Most of us are terrible at saving, it just takes time to get used to it. Eventually, it becomes second nature and you don't even think about it. @Blake - You bet the government understands "Pay Yourself First". They also love it when we overpay our taxes and take it in the form of a refund at the end of the year. @Heidi - I hope you will start saving. It is so important to our future.

It's harder to blow the budget when the important stuff is taken care of right away. Nice stuff John!

I hate to admit it but I am terrible with saving money. This is a great post and it makes me even more aware that I really need to start saving more money.

I know money is tight, but every little bit that you can put back helps. When I was working a public job, I did use the automatic savings account. It was nice to have! :-) Hi John,
