I will readily admit that I am fairly lousy when it comes to saving money on my own. I've tried different things over the years without much success, so I finally bit the bullet and opened a Roth into which I funnel $500 a month. As things stand now, the maximum contribution allowed annually is $5000, so for two months I don't do that and put that money into what I have labeled my fun fund. I have taken to viewing my Roth as a lock box to which I don't have a key.
