I still have money direct deposited into my savings account. It's the most effective way to save money. Paying off debt is essentially the same as saving money. I used to mail a big check to my car lender when I got paid. You can't change your mind once the check is on its way. I was obsessed with pinching every penny. I even found $37 through an unclaimed property website and applied that towards my debt. It seemed every month the payment got bigger and bigger. Hustler,

I usually say things like I want to do this or that, but hardly ever go through with them. This will be a good system for me to use as it sets a deadline (which as a procrastinator, I need) and states a specific goal. Thanks! I haven't paid off a huge amount of debt, but I have saved a large amount in savings. I did it by putting all my money in savings first (through direct deposit) and then taking out what I need for bills. I'm less likely to take out money once it's already in savings so I don't go through a lot of "spending" money. Once the amount starts to add up, it's fun to watch it grow more and more each payday.
