every pay check, so every two weeks. We are frugal and dump whatever we can into savings.

Every pay check

We have a set amount taken out of our account every month.

UGH. This makes me realize how far behind we are in saving money. It feels so impossible right now when you're basically living pay check to pay check (although we aren't wanting for anything by any means).

So, I'm very impressed with you all!

A set amount once a month. Sometimes twice a month if we have extra. And every time we receive any extra money (birthday checks, freelance money, etc) unless there's something we need to do with that money like a car or home repair we've been putting off.

We do every check, but my husband only gets paid monthly.

Currently, we don't. We're using all the extra bit from our budget to purchase baby gear.
Previously, we took money from every paycheck and put it into savings. We'll resume that a month or two after baby arrives.

Quarterly for us.

We were doing once per month until this fall. 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.

Every time we swipe our debit card a $1 goes into our savings. We also transfer money over once or twice a month.

Every paycheck.

Every month.

Every pay check now! 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.

Bi-weekly with each of DH's paychecks. I pay myself quarterly, so I make my savings deposit quarterly as well.

Money goes into our 401ks with every pay check, into M's 529 monthly, and into our investment account monthly. Then large transfers to our individual IRAs at the end of the year.

Every paycheck + extra once a month. 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.

Once a month - I get paid monthly and it comes out of my check.
