the better part of me

I have another common problem of the formerly poor in that I don't know how to save. When I have extra money, I spend it, because you'll never know when you'll have it again. If I don't spend it I give it to my mom or someone else who needs it, either way it's usually spent to the last dollar. Having a constant balance in my bank account is such a blessing in itself that I don't care if it's only $10. My method of saving is having the IRS withhold extra from my paycheck. :\
