Barely a few weeks pay???? Wow I want your job!

If it's Australian dollars, then that's about £2548 at current rates.

OK, so that's a rather nice 3-piece suite with a bit of money left for some other furniture.

Still not enough to get you on the housing ladder, though.

"pay yourself first"

= decide how much a month you want to save and move that amount into a separate account as soon as you get paid.

Highly effective .... doing the opposite, i.e. saving whatever is left at the end of a month never works.

Exactly right. Save first, spend what is left.
My brother once asked me to lend him some money. Even though he had always earned more than me.
I asked him where his savings were and he said that there was never any money left at the end of the month to save.
He seemed amazed at the concept of saving first and spending the rest.
