What do you do to save?

I just checked my bank account, and I am not happy of my remaining balance. I spent over $250 in one- two weeks , and this is not including bills. Just random stuff, like taxi, food.

Now I am planning to save.

Go to the grocery, and buy food that last me a month.

Cook instead of buying take out. And buy take out only Friday-Saturday.

Walk to places that is close distance to my house instead of taking a cab.

Buy at least two work clothes every two weeks.

 

I always saved best when I was working so much I didn't have time to spend my money.

 

Yes, you have to have a plan and avoid impulse buying.

 

"cab"...... "take out"........ What are these words you speak?

 

Any money I get goes straight to cigarettes.

Ah, to be a young jobless hoodlum.

 

I just.. don't spend money. I don't really have any urges to ever spend money really so I just don't. All you have to do is get in that 'I really don't give a good, honest shit' mindset and all will be well

 

Fruits, breads, vegetables meats and milk won't last for a month, so that's 5 food groups.

I guess dried pasta and canned soup will.

 

as for eating at work i just bring some micro waveable burrito instead of getting fast food at a place next door. Im saving money for my tattoo righ tnow and i put it in an envelope and locked it in my fisher price baby tool box i keep it in there so i dont carry any aroud with me so its easy not to spend it. you can send your money to me and ill keep it safe and make sure you dont spend it

 

I just spend my money on weed and music.

 

My car has karked it on me so in order to save enough to buy a used one I've got to be a total tight ass with money for a month or two. I'm great at saving when I really need to; I basically live off of tinned tuna, packet pasta, two minute noodles and veggies. Most of the rest of my $$$ goes to feeding my kitty.

 

:afro: buy in bulk here............ kinda have to from where I live.......... use the ferry instead of plane (saves 100 bucks in total) and that's it lol I waste money I guess by staying in hotel/take out but I dont have a house in town where I have eto go to get groceries.

good on ya for your saving btw

 

lock your savings account for like a year, so that you can only put money in. not take out
i dunno if you can do that. i cant..lol but i heard you can from somewhere.

 

Rosey not Ernie??

I automatically transfer money into a different account, but unless I'm determined to save money, I'm left with $0 in both accounts at the end of the week.

I'm trying to save now, I'm doing alright this first week

 

I work seasonally so when I first get done working I take what ever I want to save or invest and do it right away.

 

i click on "file," then "save as," then i choose an appropriate format, location, and title, and hit "enter."

 

Hide it like a squirrel

 

Don't really save my money yet.. Rent , cannabis, vinyls, food and nights out with friends take up most of my cash, and I usually spend all of my paycheck before the next one. You can only enjoy the life you're living once, so why not spend your cash (unless you're saving up for something)? What's the use of having it if you don't use it.

 

I do it the other way...im self employed and can work whenever i want..if i want (or sometimes if i can)

so when i need money i do some work

i dont save any

for the times when i cant work but need money i just use credit line or credit card then pay it back when im feeling better and able to work

 

Nahh Aura, we gave him to a new home years ago

It's an excel that I've had the problem's with. It's pretty officially fucked so time for a newbie :2thumbsup:

 

You can have your bank put your money into CD's.. I don't remember what CD stands for lol but it locks your money into some kind of high interest bullshit for 12-36 months
