Don’t just pay yourself first: automate your savings.Paying yourself first is great advice. However, how you pay yourself is just as important. Humans have limited willpower. Don’t spend your willpower on saving money.Note that the following method requires you to have direct deposit available. If you don’t have direct deposit available, then you’ll have to do this by manually depositing your paycheck on time. I recommend using a bank with an app that allows you to deposit checks by taking a picture of it on your smartphone (like CapitalOne360).Set up direct deposit into your bank account. Use an online bank like CapitalOne360 (formerly ING Direct) or other bank that has no minimums and no fees. If you’re not sure how to set up direct deposit, ask your HR/Payroll department at work, or your manager.Set up automatic withdrawals. I do this a little differently. Have your paycheck direct deposited into your savings account(1). Then, set up an automatic withdrawal from your savings account to your checking account for a few days later, leaving behind the amount you want to save. This avoids potential overdrafts by using your savings account as a cushion if your paycheck is late.For example:You receive your paycheck of $2,000 on the 15th of the month. You want to save 20% or $400 of your paycheck. You set up an automatic withdrawal of $1,600 (paycheck amount minus your savings amount) on the 18th of the month. The $1,600 is being withdrawn out of your savings and into your checking. Now, on the 18th of the month, you have $1,600 in your checking account that you know is available to spend, and you’ve already set aside your savings.If you get paid twice a month or every week, you’ll just need to set up a separate automatic withdrawals, or use the scheduling feature if your bank has one.If you’re interested in learning more about automating your finances, you can read Ramit Sethi’s guide. It might look a little scammy and he is ultimately trying to sell you on his products, but he puts out great free content and his method is the basis for mine above.For an alternate (and imo better) overall perspective on savings/spending, read Mr. Money Mustache’s article on why if you’re not getting rich in your twenties, you’re doing it wrong.Note: Savings accounts are limited to 6 withdrawals per month, otherwise your bank may charge you a fee or, in CapitalOne360’s case, convert your savings account into a checking account.

Well to begin….(from deposit photos[1] )Ok, I was just kidding there. I’ve been on Quora for a few years, but only started to take it a bit more seriously the last year. I’ve built up a bit of a following, and I suppose I have a few tips that will help you get started. So to begin… (this time, seriously…)Just write. Really. It’s that simple. And it’s that hard.No matter whatever you write, there will eventually be someone who will oppose you or criticize you because their experience proves otherwise. Just remember that in the end, you’re doing this for whatever reason you chose and such detractors have no real impact in your world.Feel free to comment, but don’t always expect an upvote or a return comment from the OP (Original Poster). Often, people aren’t even notified if you did leave a comment. For the more popular people, they could be getting dozens to hundreds of comments a day, and there just isn’t time to reply.Read the threads and comments of answers you like. Often they have additional information clarifying something in the answer, or fun little suggestions or tidbits of additional trivia. It can also be fun.Keep a sense of humor. Honest, you will sometimes need to. There are so many serious topics and polarized arguments that it’s easy to lose one’s demeanor.Quora is still a microcosm of the world. You’re going to see the best and the worse of people. For every hero, there’s going to be a villain. Politics and religion are still the third rail that could lead into arguments, but at least you can speak freely.Keep everything in context. Remember, nothing in Quora can really affect you in real life unless you let it. It’s easy to get caught up in the drama.Follow your passion when you write. Passion follows passion. If you write from the heart on whatever topic you are talking about, be it movies or politics or food or relationships, your passion for the topic often will be the difference between a dull answer and a great one.Be interactive. You’ll find you’ll build a reading audience faster when you speak with them in the comments.Be prepared for the unknowable. Often comments and answers could be downgraded, collapsed or deleted for reasons that are completely beyond comprehension. I’ve had an answer on beef hamburgers erased for absolutely no reason that I still don’t understand or know. Quorans have this happen every so often. Usually you can fight it. But don’t let it get to you if it happens.That should be enough. Just remember to treat it more like a community, and you’ll enjoy your participation in Quora way way more.Oh, just one more tip… from my favorite writer, Neil Gaiman.(from Quotemaster[2] )Have fun.Footnotes[1] Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
