You've got a couple of things backwards. You save some of your income off the top. If you try to save after the bills are paid you probably won't have anything left. You'll find some way to spend whatever is there. Pay yourself first. If you have to be late with a bill or two, so be it. If that's the case you have to figure out what to do to pay all of your bills. No one you owe is more important than you. Take care of yourself first. Secondly, NEVER compare yourself to others. You'll always find someone better off than you. You're bound to make yourself feel bad that way. Even if you're super rich you can find someone richer. Concern yourself with your own situation and don't waste any energy on comparisons. Change your attitude, change your life.

We save a minimum of $100 a month, and we do this every month by having the money automatically move out of our account. It may not sound like much, but it adds up. However, we do this by "paying ourselves first" rather than waiting for what is left over.
Try moving $25 out of your account (by an automatic debit) from your regular account to a savings account with the best interest rate you can get. Don't give yourself access to the account by your debit card. Make it an old fashioned book only account! You probably won't even notice the $25 a week disappearing, and at the end of a year, you'll have $1300.

We put away at least $1,400.oo each month, more when possible.
Being self employed, WE have to take care of our selves and ensure a nice retirement. Though if I worked for someone else I would still take care of my own... I have no faith in anyone else handling MY finances. NO ONE cares about my life the way I do.

On a slow month about $1,000 to 1,200 if things are going good between $3,000 and 3,500 US dollars.

Not much at all...usually just enough to scrape by. And I'm not a credit junkie; prices have risen and my wages haven't.
