    Get an automated 401K deduction first. Get the rest sent to checking via direct deposit. Don't live above your means. Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Cut on everything. Avoid to go on shopping sprees.

    Make a separate account and don't touch the money I put in there. I try to put 30+% of my monthly earnings to tht account

    as lycos said - avoid credit cards

    and personally - when the banks crashed - the dollar bar was at 3.005 in israel (almost the lowest ever), at this specific time I turned 10000 sheqels into dollars, in next month it will be open it back to shequels and it will become 13000 shequels (;

    Lots of good ideas here. My bank offers free accounts if you have a regular account with them with free transfers between accounts, so I just figure up my must pay bills like taxes and insurance by the year and have that monthly amount subtracted from my paychecks each month and placed in a secondary account. That way I don't over spend.

    if you pay the full amount every month the cost of the credit card is zero....

    you can only save money if your profits exceed your expenses otherwise is so difficult to save money....
