Default Re: Motivation for saving

My motivation is that at one time, I ran out of money far before I ran out of week. I took note of 2 things. That I didn't know too much about where my $$$ went and that if I kept up in this "normal" cycle of rat race, earn-spend-earn-spend I was sure to lose.

I'm doing better now but still learning. I have a savings acct and when an ER happens, I'm much better prepared. This is enough inspiration to keep me going!

More or less, being comfortable and frugal is alot less painful than a spendthrift losing sleep at night about how to pay the bills!
