It helps me avoid spending more money, and I also find new uses for things I already own. Sometimes it takes a little creativity.

(I read somewhere they call this the "latte factor" ... even though I don't buy lattes). If you can teach yourself the difference between "want" and "need" you can save quite a bit of money for traveling. For me it’s the little things that add up that breaks the bank.

One bit of feedback from my own experience would be to underestimate your ability to save. I've found that I set very aggressive monthly/yearly savings goals, and tend to fall short because of unexpected or forgotten expenses such as medical services and the annual car tax (I always forget about). 5 years down, 10 months to go until I leave!
