I currently have the first one in place but have yet to set up number two. Since the pay cycle has already passed for this pay period, I will make sure that it's implemented in the next one. I like the idea more and more of up-selling myself and the lessons of the cheese pedlar made it crystal clear. Thanks for the excellent advice.

To my mind if I wanted to a cheeseburger I would have ask for one. I’ve always wondered why I ordered a hamburger or by a number for a hamburgerr meal they ask if I wanted cheese.

I also find it helpful to do a 'net-worth' calculation at the same time so I can see if I'm moving in a positive direction each month. @Jon, Extended warranties certainly are something I'd like to explore in the future on Magical Penny, but over the next few weeks I'm going to continue with the 'story arc' of getting prepared and learning about investing. It's interesting to hear your perspective because I haven't heard many 'extended warranties are good' stories. @Moah -Great strategy: I do exactly the same thing.

I feel they are generally unduly chastised by sections of the public/media. The number I have bought were more than outweighed by the shiny new Vaio laptop and money in the bank I have got from mine (as well as some other benefits, but others where I got no return). However, with the new Direct Debit idea, they are a little more tenuous. Anyway, I hope you will be doing a future post on this. Oh, and instant saving is idiot proof. I think you are reminding me that now I am a bit more settled, I need to turn them 'on' again!

As soon as the money comes in I sit down and pay everything including extra payments on debt or to savings accounts. I don't wait until the end of the pay period because i just might spend to much money. I like to take action on Payday.

Missing out! Interesting fact that I read on a sign in a Subway: in the UK most purchases have VAT added including hot subway sandwiches: but cold subways are VAT free! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_the_United_Kingdom#Value_added_tax So most food is VAT free including cold subs but the moment it's hot then BOOM, it's taxed!. UK tax law is fun isn't it?! Haha, don’t think we’ve ever had Swiss, or pepperjack cheese for that matter. Missing out!

It's not. Love the taste of it, but still not the same. And now they charge an extra 5 cents if you get a bag here in DC...but I digress ;) love this one bro! nice fresh way to think of things :) plus, I love cheese! although those Subway f’ers stopped supplying Swiss here in th States (there too?) and they now tell me “pepperjack” is the same thing.
