One of the first things that I implemented, when I decided that I needed to save more, was opening up a savings account (in my case, a TFSA which is now an investment account) that I could transfer all of my extra income into. I put $25 per paycheck into my savings account every second Friday.

I read this book around the same time that I became a mother and left the full-time workforce to stay at home with our new baby. There’s a yearly fee and a learning curve, but I love YNAB and it helps me stay on budget and financially organized with our day-to-day checking and savings accounts.

My biggest financial regret is the amount of money we spent on restaurant meals from the time we were married and both working full time to when we had kids. Now I wish those dollars had gone into our savings accounts. What’s an embarrassing money mistake you’ve made? Alan doesn’t share that regret.
