I've finally got to the point where I'm wanting to get some money behind me after a lifetime of pissing it away on unneeded crap.
First thing is to pay off my debt. Thankfully I don't have too much, just a credit card and an overdraft that I have been living in for years.
I get my bonus in a couple of weeks which should cover half of what I owe so. In the mean time I've been throwing about a quarter of my earning on the credit card.
I've quit smoking which was huge and cut my energy drinks out completely. This is saving me $184 per week, insane I know. Also I've reduced my food spend quite a bit but I think I can do better here.
I'm basically going to be a hermit for a few weeks until I'm out of debt. Then set up a weekly payment of 20% of salary into a savings account.
Anyone got any good savings tips?
