The way I'm getting my tattoos is that friends have donated money to my perpetual ink fund for birthday and Christmas and the like. It's made the work even more meaningful to me, in that it's a physical (and permanent!) representation that there are people who love me, even if I feel alone a lot of the time. It's the gift that keeps on giving! o.O
I also did a "reward" thing to sock a bit away myself, where I'd put a virtual dollar in my Hello Kitty bank if I put down some nifty thing I wanted to buy, or accomplished something I'd been dreading. Not expensive, but good motivation, and it's the sort of thing you can start now but wait until the money situation's a little brighter ("Oh, I just sold that thing for $20 on eBay? $5 of it's for my last few reward-points!") to actually take the cash anywhere.
