Starting from payday, I daily move some money to a piggy bank, which helps for some short term requirements.

Any other short term saving ideas? long term also?

Other people have suggested the broader ideas of saving, but I'm going to get into the details of how to spend less money.

I follow the PERK system, and have found it to be very helpful. It takes a lot of effort initially, but becomes easy once you get to a routine. There are a bunch of explanations on this, so here is the first one from Google:

(To find others, I had to search for "Perk postpone eliminate reduce keep")
