The bank has been automatically squirrelling away €50 a month into my a savings account for years.

Though a lot less than I should if I bought less usless and unnecessary stuff and if I made more food at home instead of buying it from restaurants.

I spent an obscene amount of money (US$13,000) on veterinary bills in 2015, which really set me back -- and the dog didn't survive.
