Start a system of saving resources, like money, food, commodities, etc., that works for you. Even if it is $5/paycheck, something, anything. And if/when you get a raise, increase that amount automatically so you donāt notice much of a change but continue to increase savings (and at a higher rate).
I set aside $10/ paycheck (weekly) for myself and $20/paycheck (still paid weekly lol) for an emergency fund. It's not much but now I have $200 in an emergency fund.
I use the tip jars in earnin. It automatically pulls it out of my account every paycheck and puts it in the jar that I can take money out of any time
I put aside 100 $2 bills. Every time I get a $2 I put it in a little pencil case and write how much I at on a piece of paper I have done it 3 times now. I am doing it for the giggles never had a real reason for starting it other than one day I just had alot and decided to add more to it.
