My money is safe from me

May 16th, 2009 at 05:14 pm

I tried to save in an ordinary savings account. The problem is that when I see the $$ there, I think "ooh, I'm rich. I can buy things".
I had to save my money from myself by putting it away into registered retirement savings. I can't trust me with my own money. How bad is that?

    I assume you already have an Emergency Fund?

    I put money into a savings account at a bank not linked to anything else: no checking account, no debit card. It is strictly for saving money. I deosit money monthly and forget about it. You just have to think of it as already spent and not accessible to you.
