It relieves a great deal of tension and pressure. @Amy: Fallling off is the worse also because you feel like a failure and that maybe saving is a waste of time. But it's good to learn from mistakes and share your struggles so people can keep you in check! @Alanna: Absolutely–and when you talk about it you realize that NO ONE can keep up with the Jonses.

However, it wasnt until I left college that the concept of an emergency fund came up. So many of my immediate necessaities were taken care of by my college that I could focus on fun. I worked on campus jobs that were flexible and paid decent wages so college was actually too cushioned for me to truly grasp the importance of saving! @Dorothy: I opened a savings account my sophmore year and saved away for specific goals (new computer, trip with friends, study abroad).

I find myself having to stick to my budget all the time, and if I go over...I feel it for weeks. It takes a while to get back on track, once you've been thrown off. Great advice!

I'm still in college, but I hate asking my parents for money. I always save 10% of my biweekly paychecks. What did you do about money when you were in college? Dorothy Allison,

I think people should talk about money, in detail. We should talk about our salary numbers, our rent, our mortgages. It would help everyone get over their feeling that they've got less money than everybody else, and it would help us all make better choices.
