Really helps, especially on my tiny student earnings. :) I use it to evaluate the bigger purchases, and if I'm alright with having to work a week for something, I go ahead and do it. Sometimes I cheat and use only the commission part of my job to determine if I "earned" something or not. ("If I get $X in commission, I can buy Y for $Z.") I'm going to try hard to save 50% of my income, I currently am. (Which, sadly, isn't amounting to a terribly large amount, but it's not a bad chunk of cash either.) I'm in the middle of Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek, which definitely makes me realize that while saving 50% is good, I should go ahead and spend 25% of that on present activities and perhaps save the other 25% for retirement. I love the idea of having balance to do things now instead of being on the "deferred life plan." I’m with Marci, I do that *all* of the time.
