Going to your payroll office and setting up automatic deductions is the best move you can make to begin saving. It is so simple because you do not have to do anything. I have forced many of my friends to do this because they complained about how it was impossible to save money. The only thing that changes is that you have less money to work, so you have a chance to get creative and find ways to stretch a dollar.

You're dead right, about saving and usually it's just about doing it. One great way of saving is to deposit those windfalls as you say. That's when what looks like a normal account then starts to look like a healthy account.

My wife and I do the dollar bill and change thing throughout the year, cashing it in in August – it pays for our two girls’ elementary school book rental for the year (about $250 total), our annual fall camping and canoeing trip with extended family down in southern Indiana, and there is always a little bit left over to have a nice dinner (with drinks) at our favorite local Mexican restaurant. A very painless way to handle two expenses we have that come up at the same time every year (tuition and vacation).

I would recommend opening up a savings account with a local credit union or bank without online access. I find it easier to save when I am not onstantly looking at my balance because when I see my Savings balance I think about how I can spend that money.

I love direct deposit!
Which is what helped Craig and I build up a substantial emergency fund.
We also use it for funding our goal specific savings accounts.
Goal specific accounts really caught the attention of our oldest son.
He is doing an incredible job of saving for his various personal goals.
At 24 yrs old – he has over 10K saved.
Saved through consistently depositing a portion of his income!
