Open another current/savings account, if I were you I'd just open one with your current bank, the interest rate won't really matter in the first year when you have minimal savings.
Work out how much you are prepared to save each month and set up a direct debit to transfer that amount to the new account the day after you are paid.
Put your card somewhere safe (not in your wallet/purse), if you don't have the card on your person you are far less likely to withdraw the savings.
But most importantly, have some will power.0 -
Set up an ISA and drip-feed investments via direct debit, most people have a minimum amount say £50 per month but keeps you disciplined and helps to ride out the highs and lows of the markets.0

Have all your wages paid into your mum or dad's bank account, and they will give you your "pocket money"
Not only will this save you money, it will bring back memories of when you were a kiddie, how nice that will be.
