I always thought many people were that way, but didn't have a bankers perspective :) I'd like to think I'm somewhere in between, nicely dressed with some $ in the bank :)Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645952143928909454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853676192846816353.post-55851495049105191902009-03-06T08:01:00.000-07:002009-03-06T08:01:00.000-07:00Hi Michelle - Great post!

One thing I just did recently was to change the withholding allowances on my W-4 from two to six. That gives me 80 more dollars every paycheck. I'm putting half of that into my emergency fund and the other half is going towards debt.<BR/><BR/>I wish that someone would have sat down with me when I was just starting out and talked with me about the importance of savings, living below your means, the risks associated with credit, etc... But I think I'm on the right path, now. Better late than never!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204711850562363977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853676192846816353.post-84898662284943457802009-03-06T06:55:00.000-07:002009-03-06T06:55:00.000-07:00I have an award for you! Thanks for inspiring all...I have an award for you! Thanks for inspiring all of us to live the frugal life. Stop by my blog to get your award.<BR/><BR/>These are all great ideas. I recently realized the importance of "paying myself first" We definitely want to have an emergency fund built up in case of a real emergency, and if I would have had one years ago I would have saved myself a lot of money and grief. No matter what kind of income you have, make sure and tuck a little away into a savings account.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825525870073283730noreply@blogger.com
