Even though my current pay rate is much less than what I was expecting, I automatically transfer 10% of my net pay into my savings account. It's astounding that doing that little gave me the safety net for when my car needed new tires and new front brakes after it failed the safety inspection. Last time around when my car needed a massive amount of repairs I had to charge it to my credit card (which I'm still working to pay off), this time around I could pay for it all in cash!
