Good advice, all around, but I can't get past that pig looking man.
It's been said a thousand time, but truly, setting aside a little bit each week or paycheck is vital for savings. It's incredible how fast it all adds up. |

That's what I tell the guys at work with kids. It pains me to see grown men without any savings or just-in-case money. Even $25 a week, anything is better than nothing.

p.s. Agreed on the pig/guy thing....odd |
Live free or die. Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams |

| And if all you can do is $25 a week or month, why not hold it in the form of copper pennies or nickels? At the very least you will think twice before you are tempted to spend them? |

Exactly. And that's the other side of the equation: spending less! When one has money tied up in copper or nickel, it's much easier to save. 
Here's a game I play sometimes, and you all should try it, it's fun: How long can you go without spending any money?
