The Put Back Method For Saving Money

From my experience, the best way to truly save money in today's society is to put back a rationed amount from each pay period. There are all sorts of things money seems to be blown away on in this day and age, yet this method has kept me afloat for years. Each pay period, set a percent that you want to keep from your amount and stay disciplined into not spending it. The best way to do this is to pretend you do not have it. I like to keep out 20%, so when I get my check, if it is $200, I keep $40 stashed away in a shoe box not to be spent unless it is an absolute emergency. This way, I will always have money when I need it and not find myself broke like I have many times before. Some of my friends who use the same method vary the percent of put back, however, it is up to the person's own opinion as to what is best. Finally, I also make sure I'm not paying too much for my electricity and gas by using the cheapest suppliers in my area - I found them via a Google search for cheap gas Hartlepool - you too can make similar searches to find your cheapest utility suppliers.
