It was to use 2 piggy banks. One was a safe place for 20% of my allowance and the other was for saving until I wanted to buy something. By separating the two my parents taught me to never pull from my 20%. I have written about it along with other financial lessons they taught me on financialswami.com From my parents.

I call them the "Moneytards" (apologies in advance to anyone who finds that offensive). They're very, very good at burying their heads in the sand when it comes to $$$. No words of wisdom from them!

It is an enabler of your life, not the focus. Seems overly simplified and trite almost, but it's helped pretty well.
