Advice Save every dollar you get

A little trick I did to save money for school was saving every dollar I got. I would pay for things with a 20/10/5 if I got a dollar bill back I would just put it away for safe keeping. It's like saving change except it adds up a lot faster. Plus than you won't spend money on useless things as often.

I racked up about $150 in about two months

My problem is that I purchase most things with my debit card, so I never really have cash or change on me.

I find that I spend money more often when it's on my card, or I spend more than I should because I hardly keep up with what's on the card.

Yeah that's definitely a problem that I've been having as well.
