One of the arguments DH has with me is that I do not keep any money in "my" savings account. (His has the true EF in it). Since I pay the bills, I tend to use every penny to pay them, then buy groceries. So now I am paying myself first. Nothing earth shattering, but I am trying to put a little (or alot) in each pay time. That and trying to only eat at home have been my September goals.

And how's the only eating at home thing going? We did that this month, too, and it hasn't been as hard as I thought. We've been married for 12 years, and I think this is the longest we've gone without eating out! Though I must admit, I looked longingly at the Taco Bell we passed today. I think that was more because hot food sounded better than the cold food I'd packed for our picnic today, though.

Good luck
