So a long time ago in my college years, I was super irresponsible with money. This led me to get some credit card debt and still have my student loans to pay off.

I love having a savings account. Usually I just had my bank round up from my purchases and put it in my savings account. However, I started pushing myself to put 10% from my paycheck in my savings account. It’s hard but it’s helping me not to overspend and also gives me something for emergencies.
