How long would it take you to save $10,000? Impossible? No it's not! Even if you are living paycheck-to-paycheck you can save each month and before you know it you'll have $10,000 saved. It takes discipline and following a strict budget, but it can be done.
One tip author Gary Sirak recommends is using cash only. No credit cards at all. If you don't have the money (aka cash) you can't spend it!
