I also have two accounts. When my pay comes in fortnightly I put a certain amount into my savings account and leave the rest for 'general living'.
To increase my savings I also have a money tin. Any coin I receive in change goes straight into this tin. So generally speaking when I look back on a weeks 'general expenses' I'm seeing this coin as a expense but I still actually have it. I normally put approx $5 a day into the tin but sometimes it can be $20-$30 after a saturday night out because I purposely use notes at every opportunity to increase the savings within my tin.
My current tin I've had since the start of Oct12 and I would estimate I have around $300 in it. I find it to be a good way of saving money you would otherwise spend on useless stuff.
