I am the first to admit that I am having issues with saving money. Does anyone have any tips for me on how to do that??

I tried making folders for how much I can spend on what but that doesn't work and neither has anything else I've tried. Now I started something new. Everytime I want to buy something but don't I put the cost of that thing into a little piggy bank. Do you think that would work??

any advice would be greatly appreciated :D

Set up an electronic funds transfer (EFT) from your working account to an account without a card attached, such as a super saver account or whatever they're called where you are.
Have an amount transferred regularly soon after you are paid.
This is like compulsory saving and even a small amount seems to add up very quickly.

My retirement savings is deducted automatically from my paycheck.
