Hey everyone sorry i've been away for a bit. I have been talking to people at work and they all said it's easier for them to save if they use direct-deposit instead of cashing their checks like i do (i think someone mentioned this either in one of my threads in the forum or in this blog) I think it's a really great idea.
this week i deposited my check into my checking account and i still have most of it, and its been 5 days! usually i spend half of it by now! my friend said "you cant spend what you dont know you have" i think it makes sense for my situation now but in the future when i have a real career and important responsibilities i will want to keep an eye on my funds.
my birthday is wednesday so maybe i will get some extra money to put aside for savings. i will be 24. still living at home still working my way through school. it is depressing the older i get knowing im still not on my own when all my friends are getting married and having babies, but i am enjoying life too much to criticize myself and life is too short to compare your life to everyone else's. just enjoy what you have and do your best to make it better!
Direct Deposit

Don't let friends make your choices for you.
Happy Birthday!!
