I don't know how much to get paid but just say to get paid 200 a week and you have no bills. Take 100 away. It's a lot of your pay check but hey the more you put in the savings the sooner your money will build up and you can buy a car.If you have trouble keepingthe cash and not spending it - put it in the bank, give it to someone you trust and rely on. Try and cut your paycheck in half and put half of the money to your savings and half of your money towards you. If you can't afford half - then cut out at least 1/4 every week. And if you can't afford that then cut out all the money you can afford. Good luck. [ Wowitzbrit's advice column | Ask Wowitzbrit A Question ]

Make a deal with yourself that you can't withdraw money from the account unless it's an emergency, or unless it's for the car. [ silentkate's advice column | Ask silentkate A Question ]
