What I do to save is I have a $10 quarter roller with the bottom taped shut and whenever the extra money after bills in my wallet doesn’t end with a five or a zero like say I have $13 in my wallet I take that $3 to give myself a amount ending with either a 5 or a 0 in this case a zero and put that $3 in that roller until that roller is full then when it’s full instead of counting that money I put it in my savings and start again. It’s not very good but it works.

I set up accounts for specific yearly spending. For instance, if I know I want to allot $240 for my daughters birthday in December, I create a savings account transfer $20 a month in that account which will total $240 by end of year

I transfer $100 every month in to an offshore bank account with a 2% interest rate, which compounds bi-annually.

I wanna add that u should always use price comparison engines online.
Just recently I flew around the world for $1300 from kayak (NYC to Hawaii to Taiwan to Moscow to Spain and then back to NYC).
And then I found auto insurance coverage for just $33/month from 4autoinsurancequote.

So, I think shopping around for stuff online is a great way to save.

YES! I LOVE IT!!! I can only imagine how much easier that makes it with accounting, haha… though, I must admit I don’t know many people who still use a checkbook ;) You’re rockin’ it old school style!

I guess it’s like a “virtual coin jar.” Every time we write a check or do an online transaction, we round it up to the nearest $10 in the checkbook register. You could also round it up to the nearest dollar or $5 increment if you do lots of transactions or if you’re really strapped. So, for ex, if we go to the grocery and the bill is $86.45, we record it as spending $90. This is good for two reasons:
1) it makes book keeping SO MUCH EASIER
2) Whatever “overage” is actually in the acct at the end of the month beyond what we think we have based on the register, we transfer to savings. (So the $3.55 in the above example would become savings)
