As of today, after setting out to save more money in 2015, I have an extra $3,000 in savings! I will be using this money to eventually buy a new car for myself, but for now I love watching the numbers go up!

Congrats! For me the only thing harder than saving $ is dieting. Have fun dreaming about your new car!

That's awesome! Congratulations. How'd you do it? I mostly pay for stuff in cash, so I started by saving all of the $5 bills in my wallet at the end of every day. I also upped my percentage of my paycheck direct depositing into my savings account from 10% to 15%. And this isn't fun, but I've given up buying little extras at Target and pocketing the money instead. |

Fantastic achievement, enjoy looking forward to your new car!  And it's amazing how saving all the coins or small notes each day can add up over time without it feeling too painful! |

That's great, congratulations. We are still paying off expenses from working on our building renovation but when that's done with in the next few months I'll be able to watch funds increase instead of going out as fast as it comes in.
