Yeah I’d agree that starting small as it looks like a few people is vital. The power of compounding growth is definitely under-rated. While I must admit it is sort of frustrating and slow at the start, having faith in the process and understanding why you want to get to where you want to be is pretty important as well..

Also important to have some fun I’d say! :)

Anum Well said – consistency is definitely key for financial success (and any success in general).

Starting small is the key to consistence, and consistence is the key to saving! That being said, it’s still important to remind myself to not get ahead of myself and try to stick to a realistic long-term savings plan

Jason @ The Butler Journal It’s so important for people to realize that starting small is better than not starting at all. I remember getting my first part-time job and making minimum wage. Yet, by the end of it, I had $3,000 saved up!

AbigailP I’m totally like that when I get overwhelmed with work!

I’m a huge fan of setting up automatic transfers – even for small amounts such as $20-$40 a week. You’re right that most people aren’t going to miss it or feel the sting.

ShannonRyan Yes, establishing good financial habits is crucial, and that can really only be done over a period of time. “Quick wins” aren’t going to teach you important lessons that will stick with you and continue to influence how you manage your money.

For me starting small was the only way. At the time I didn’t have much to begin with. Eventually you will gain some leverage. Once you get to that it gets much easier.
