Since I've paid off my debt a few weeks ago (wow it feels like this whole blog's dedicated to my spending habits), I've been actively trying to save my money for very specific reasons. I actually have three savings accounts, each serving a different purpose: one for tax purposes, one for general savings, and the last for "important potential near future purposes" (I'll get into that some other time).
Since I've paid off my debt, I eagerly await for my paycheck to be deposited in my checking account every week so I can shuffle around my money into the various savings accounts. It's addictive, almost like I'm playing Tetris or something; everything has to fit perfectly. This obsessive process makes me feel like I'm actually in control of my finances for the first time in my life. I know I'm 25 already and should have been doing this from a much earlier age, but better late than never!
It sucks knowing that I'm going to have to use these savings in the near future for my vacation to SF and my trip to Houston (for a friend's wedding). But I guess that'll just give me another opportunity to start saving all over again!
