As a being fascinated with numbers I'll talk math here, sorry if you are averse to Math ) You can try having a separate account for just your savings and then make the balance exactly follow multiples of a progression . . . Fibonacci sequence is what i follow i.e , 1k, 2k, 3k, 5k, 8k, 13k, 21k, 34k (Value of K depends on how rich you are . . . . There is a definite urge to pull your balance to the next number and it's kinda fun.
Also this adds discipline to your saving habit. Say you have 21k in your account and you had to use 1k for emergency, you withdraw 8k from the account to make it fall back to its predecessor. Now the sudden decrease in balance makes you feel the pinch and you ll soon want to see the number grow. Otherwise we all know what happens to the savings account you reduce to 20 and then to 18 and by the time you come back from a vacation its 1.25. . .
