We have three savings accounts, and put a small amount in every week, and then a bit extra in the middle of the month. My student loans are in deferment so we lowered the payments and put the extra into savings. We also contribute to an HSA and 401Ks.

But I go through big saving periods and big spending periods. I saved for a few years, then bought my house and furnished it, spending almost everything I had in the process. Then I went back to saving for a while and met DH. When planning our wedding, I was saving nothing---it was all going to the wedding. DH never touched his savings for the wedding. He just payed 60% of the costs out of his paychecks. But he makes 3x what I make, so oh well! ;-) Now we're saving hard for the baby, and I'm sure soon I'll start buying nursery and baby items.

We automate withdrawals every month so that x amounts go into the following savings accounts: RSPs, TFSAs, house fund, vacation fund, and RESPs. Money is also automatically deducted from DH's and my pay cheque for contributions to our respective retirement plans. keiki_mama on "How often do you put money into a savings account?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-put-money-into-a-savings-account#post-479886 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:56:22 +0000 keiki_mama 479886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Every paycheck. fussygal on "How often do you put money into a savings account?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-put-money-into-a-savings-account#post-479879 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:49:13 +0000 fussygal 479879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Every month it's the first bill I pay! :) Mrs. Pickle on "How often do you put money into a savings account?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-put-money-into-a-savings-account#post-479616 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:16:04 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 479616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Every time we swipe our debit card a $1 goes into our savings.

I started a new job in a new state, and DH has yet to find a job here, so we're living off of one paycheck. Technically, we should still be able to save some $$, but somehow most of it has been going towards baby gear lately. As soon as DH gets a new job though we will go back to saving, and we should be able to put his entire paycheck towards our savings. yoursilverlining on "How often do you put money into a savings account?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-put-money-into-a-savings-account#post-479572 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:02:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 479572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Every pay check a portion goes into savings: savings, retirement and LO's college fund. prettylizy on "How often do you put money into a savings account?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-put-money-into-a-savings-account#post-479531 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 20:49:42 +0000 prettylizy 479531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Quarterly for us. mrskc on "How often do you put money into a savings account?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-put-money-into-a-savings-account#post-479524 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 20:48:24 +0000 mrskc 479524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Every paycheck we transfer 30% into savings.
