Day 61 of 365 new ways to a new you. Congratulations, you have made it this far. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you ready for tomorrow? This is part of a series that is going to span 365 days. Some things will be subtle other activities will be more involved. At the end of the 365 days even if you do only 20 of these things you will be a new person, for better or for worse.

Before I begin with day sixty one, I must defer you to our Terms and Conditions .

Amazingly few people actually ever save money. In fact most people are only one to three paychecks away from bankruptcy. So the thought of saving money can be a bit difficult.

Day 61: Start a savings account
Set aside some money any money and start a savings account. Add to it whenever you can even if it is only a dollar. The challenge will be to keep the account active and forgotten.

If you don’t have enough to start a savings account then consider what “necessities” you could go without for a while. Perhaps you could stop drinking or smoking, maybe you buy a weekly book. Whatever your extra expense is you will be surprised at how much you may accrue in a short time.
