I just got a $10 check for participating in an online survey. I was tempted to cash it right away because my financial situation was SO DIRE. I was even tempted to cash it and treat myself to a nice dinner for a change. But I stopped myself. I realized that unless I save money, I will never have anything as backup. I've been in situations where even a couple of dollars would have made a difference. So I figure, look I'm broke, I'm going to be that way for a while. But at least I can have a $10 cushion. I will add to that every month. It won't be much, but it will be there. Something is better than nothing, especially during those raincloud moments or days.

You've provided so much inspiration during my online writing adventure. I always find so much here that helps me along the way. With all the post-Panda changes, I'm diversifying and working way beyond my comfort level. Reading your posts made my day. -- Trent Thanks for this wise post.

I would definitely keep aside an amount for the rainy day. What I suggest is reduce the use of credit card. It is equivalent to saving as you can avoid many unnecessary expenses.
