Saving Money When You Feel Like You Have None

Let’s be honest — money is confusing, and school didn’t exactly prepare us. Bank of Dad breaks things down in a way that actually makes sense, with no jargon and no judgement.

Being told to “just save a bit each month” can feel frustrating when your money already disappears as soon as you get paid. When rent, bills, and everyday costs take priority, saving can feel unrealistic — or like something only other people manage to do.

In this episode of Bank of Dad, Kate brings the honest question so many people are thinking: how are you meant to save when there’s nothing left? Pete breaks down small, realistic ways to start building a savings habit, without guilt, pressure, or pretending it’s easy.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why saving feels impossible for so many people
  • The difference between saving “perfectly” and saving realistically
  • Small changes that can make a real difference over time
  • How to get started without needing loads of spare cash
