On my site, I advocate finding money within your current budget to "pay yourself" If you made coffee at home rather than buying it at the local coffee shop, "pay yourself" that $4 straight in to your savings account.

I naturally transfer a small percentage of my check into my vacation fund each month. Don't have enough excess to contribute to savings, but my savings is high right now so I am happy. I have gotten on a good routine but have almost stumbled. I don’t have automatic transfers set up although I should.

I automatically move money to my savings account on every payday. But unless I track every single expense in every spending category (soooo tedious!), I never know what's leftover. I think my partner and I will be moving over to a cash-only system to track these things better.
