Pay yourself first

It's nearly always possible to save a little money no matter how small the income is and no matter high your expenses seem. Even if you're only able to tuck away enough for one coffee a week, I think it's wise to get into the habit of saving early on. Taken out of your income before you have the chance to spend it and you'll soon get used to not having it. And when the bigger dough starts rolling in, you'll already have some sort of system set up to put money away.
