Warning: I was paying myself LAST out of every check and wondering why I felt broke
For 2 years I'd pay rent, gas, groceries, and whatever fun stuff came up, then toss whatever was left (usually like $40) into savings on the 28th. A coworker asked me point blank how much I saved per check and I couldn't even answer, because the number changed every time and it was mostly nothing. Does anyone here move money to savings the day you get paid instead of waiting to see what's left, and did it actually stick for you?
