I zero out at the end of the month so for the time being no. I'm 25 and with my next salary most likely from a job move I'll start saving then. However its more like that the money will be used towards funding my own business. I am an entrepreneur at heart and do not take the thought of a bootstrapped business lightly. The romantic nature in which viral startups are portrayed do appeal to me but I am a realist and understand that I'll need to do something that charges from day one.
To those who are responsible and do put away a bit of money every month. Smart, very smart.
- brc 16y agoYou should really set up an account and get an automatic transfer going, even if it's only $50 a month. While the amount isn't important, the habit is vitally important now while you're still young. Believe it or not, the period of life you're in right now is when you have the most surplus income. Things will get a lot tougher at some point. Everyone can take a 10% trim on their disposable income without too much pain, and it's a good habit to get into. Just make sure you can't get at the money without having to go in somewhere and fill out forms. Otherwise it will get spent on something you have to do or have. And in ten years you'll regret both the wasted money and failure to build a habit.
