I started to seriously think about saving more money and start saving more often after my math teacher showed us the benefits of putting a little money away every month. Saving even 20 dollars a month can grow exponentially in a savings account with interest. If i started saving half of my weekly check every month, then i could be a millionare by age 65. If you do the math then you'll understand the power of saving also. Living week to week with every check just isnt smart, and i know i'll thank myself when im too old to work!
