So I was reading http://www.parenting.com/article/Mom/Work--Family/101-Ways-to-Bail-Out-Your-Family-Budget and came across this tip:
46. Bank what you resist spending.All I could think was "I'd have to transfer my entire income to savings every month!" :)
Every time you talk yourself out of an impulse buy, like a pricey pair of shoes, transfer that amount into your savings account. You'll be amazed at how much you'll have in the bank by the end of the year.
YAY! an updated post with a personal note! And, it only took you 4 MONTHS to do it! :)
