What is the motivation that started you saving and keeps you saving? I think that most people who save have a motivating factor. With all the advertising that says spend, spend, spend, there has to be something that motivates you to save and be frugal.

I save because I watch the money troubles my parents had while growing up. I vowed that I didn't want the same problems and that motivated me to not spend more than I earn.

I also like to give money to charities and causes that I believe in. I enjoy saving to be able to donate to these when I feel the urge. There is nothing that makes me happier to have the money set aside to be able to do that.

I think everyone needs to find a reason to save. It makes it a lot easier when you have a goal in mind.
