<prompt> Human: So I ended up getting a second job to save but the paychecks were mesley 100week. Basically I spent the check back at work because I figured with my work discounts I was saving. After seeing that my shopping category was 700 on Mint I got scared in a course of one month!. I reevaluated my life and said this check will go directly into a savings account. Seven weeks later, I was surprised its 700. My biggest problem was that I had short term thinking. Oh, this is only 100, that means I can splurge on dinner! Or a shirt!. NOPE! This was a horrible idea. I grew up poor so I didnt realize I had this use it or lose it mentality. Saving for me was almost pointless. But I didnt realize I would get a high from seeing an account grow. I previously ignored a lot of advice here, but decided to take the plunge and listen for a bit. Its working great so far!  <response>: Awesome! I have a weekly amount automatically withdrawn on payday from my checking account and put into my online savings. Every few months I increase the amount taken each week by a few dollars. I never miss the money from my checking because it is taken before I have the chance to spend it. SO MUCH FUN to look at my savings and see how much it grows.Good Luck, great job!
