I am trying to get some cash saved up but keep finding stupid things to blow it on. I'd like to set up a savings account or something and have money direct deposited into it. I'd like to do it where I would have to jump through some hoops to get at it.


Lil help?

Put it in an account where it takes 3 other signatures to get the money out. :p

ask your grandma to save it for you and not give it no matter how you ask.

You could setup an online savings account at emigrant or whoever. You would need to transfer the money back to your regular bank before you could use it.

Here's an idea. Sac up, be a man and don't spend it. Problem solved and YOU solved it.

This. Set up automated transfers and profit, literally.

you could also buy very expensive/collectible wines or art. this is risky because you aren't guaranteed that you will get back what you spent... but the potential is there to profit. and, you won't be able to spend it unless you drink the wine ;-)

Just get a savings account and cut up the atm card you get. That way you can only get money during business hours at an actual teller. It will make it more difficult/less convenient to get your $$. You could also try setting this up at a bank that doesn't have a branch in your town....a local bank in another town works great, especially since they aren't likely to have a web interface to xfer funds.

...or get a SO who is better at money than you are... :p
