As long as you always have a stable excess amount and some stashed away for the worst of situations, yep.

I can't really add anything to this discussion that hasn't been said. Writing down a budget would be my first step if I were in your shoes. It'd be a reality check for you and probably snap you back into place mentally to get you ready for the actual saving/fixed spending you'll be doing.

Never have I had that until this month. But if I can keep this up, putting away $600 a month, I think I'll be good. Hoping for a raise soon... Might get two this summer.

The real solution is to get a better paying job.

I already get paid more an hour than probably most of you . I just don't have enough time to work and support the kind of lifestyle (drinking habits) that I am used to anymore.

Nayl logged on today... so... no. Silly rumour spreaders.
