Saving is all about discipline. It's actually very easy to save once you set your mind to it but people often take comfort in material things and if they don't spend they feel like they don't have. You can also save money by budgeting and instead of going out every weekend and buying over price drinks go out once or twice a month and do if you must drink or party do it at home of friends where you can save money by buying alcohol from the store.
Yeah Discipline is required to save money and you also need a positive attitude to follow it continuosly. Prepare a action plan n follow it and monitor it weekly you will get the exact idea of expenses that is costing you more and avoid friendly parties that would force you to spend more due to peer pressure even if you don't wish to.
