I just finished reading this very cool article about tricking yourself to save. I'm sure most of you are aware, and are probably paying yourself first by having a portion of your income directly deposited into a savings or retirement savings account. But what about that vacation you so desperately need but don't know how you're going to come up with the funds? Or maybe you need a new computer but can't front the money for it along with the bells and whistles that usually accompany it.
