<prompt> Human: I bring home 725 a week. 200 of that is in cash, the rest is direct deposit to my checking account. I recently opened a 401k account, which takes 25 a week and puts it there, for long term saving. Eventually Ill move that up to 50100 when it becomes easier to do this.Right now, the only real expenses Im paying are my cost of gas and insurance. 360m for insurance, 200m for gas.Ive also just opened a savings account, which Im going to be transferring 150wk in. That leaves me with: 700wk after 25 taken for 401k x 4 weeks in a month 2800.2800 - 360 car insurance 2440.2440 - 600 150wk savings 1840. 1840 - 200 gaswk 1640.Nevermind the cost of food, and having a social life.Im 26 years old and living at home right now due to an unexpected issue that came up in 2012. Currently, Im saving up to purchase a house. The house in question is one of my fathers houses, that hes currently renting. Were in the process of evicting the tenant, and once theyre gone, Id like to be renting the house with the intentions of buying it in the future.I have somewhere between 6 months 1 year until the tenant is actually out of the house, so Id like to be able to save enough so when that point comes, I can move in. I am thinking of sharing the place with a room mate, as I know it would be too much to do all on my own.Its either that or throw away my money on a 1-bedroom apartment somewhere, which is a silly idea.I know the little things, bring lunch instead of buying it, eat at home instead of going out, buy a bottle of liquor instead of going to a bar, etc etc etc... but Im just curious as to what the ideal way of saving said money is, so Id be able to get the hell out of my parents house as quickly as possible.I should mention, ideally I want to save around 400 a week. 150 directly into savings, but the remaining money I simply dont want to touch unless I absolutely HAVE to.Ive done it before, and was able to rack up 8-12,000 fairly quickly, in a matter of months. Unfortunately, due to getting too comfortable with my living situation and having no bills, I blew most of that money.  <response>: Whats the easiest way to save money, quickly?By not spending it.Theres no secrets to saving money. You just shove it into a savings account, and dont touch it. Voila!Maybe go hang out in rfrugal if you want ideas on how to cut back costs in order to save more money every month.
