• Set a checking account upper limit on yourself. As soon as you get a paycheck, if you get over that limit, transfer the excess to savings so you trick your brain into thinking it’s not there. I give myself $100 a week MAX.

Or have your payroll deposit go into a savings account, so that you have to actively move it to your checking account to spend it.
