I started putting 5% of every freelance check into a separate 'tax' account and it saved me from a huge panic last quarter.

Smart move! I just stash 30% right off the top, otherwise I'd blow it all.

Yeah, that's the only way it works for me too. If I see the money sitting in my main account, it feels like spending cash. Moving it out right away makes it real savings. I started doing that years ago and it completely changed my ability to actually keep money aside.

But moving it out makes me forget I saved at all.
