How can you make sure you're motivated enough to put money on a regular basis?

Hi Win...I had such a large savings account, but in a retirement fund, and when Wall Street crashed, I lost so very much of it! So now, I am starting from scratch again to try to rebuild as much as I can, but NOT in the stock market until it truly stabilizes. I have the money deposited automatically, before I even see my check, so that is motivation enough for me :) Good luck with building a savings. Karen
