LITTLE TIP: Put away a hundred or so every month.
Hide it somewhere. A savings account you never use.
EVENTUALLY you will get used to not having it and your lifestyle will change accordingly. You wont miss it. But when you get to be 60 or 65, youll have this hidden stash to dip into.
(Note: it can be anything. Not just a savings account. Just make sure it is low-risk.)
And DONT TOUCH IT. If you ever read "Rich dad, Poor dad" the author says "lower and middle class call it 'dipping into my savings'. Upper class call it 'being stupid'."
If you dip into it every time you need some cash, you wont have much when you retire.
Yeah I read that book, good advice btw.
