When you get your paycheck and your salary do you get to save anything?

why not changing your old lifestyle. i did, and got a few savings because of that.. no more gimmicks, no more hard parties and no more senseless shopping! i think its also helps to track your expenses and have a bank savings account..

I used to do that before when I was working with my previous company. My savings will depend on the total earnings I've made. It's really hard to prepare a budget. I receive above minimum wage that time but not that much to cover all the expenses we have to pay. What I do is to render alot of overtime, I earn more from that. It would add up to my budget and it helped me alot. I pay all of our utility bills, nobody help me with it. Sigh.. I'm single but I shoulder all the responsibilities. Usually I can save up to 500 pesos every pay day. Because of this, I don't have problem with my allowance or during emergency cases. Now I've started up a "sari-sari" store in our place while looking for a new job. It's really hard when you don't have a job, no earnings at all. Better save some money for your future needs. Nice meeting you!

Yes! everytime I got my salary I make sure I save even a little. Well, It is easy for me to save since I am single and I am not contributing anything in the household expenses. There were times were I was still supported by my parents when it comes to financial aspect. I can say that I am not that stable yet and I still have long way to go.

Now that it is just my husband working, we try to put a little away every pay. Now we have managed to save enough for our vacation to Orlando Florida in August. It varies with the amount we do put away, and when we get back we are looking at moving to a cheaper apartment to rent, as the one we are in now, even though it is nice and has very nice amenities, I think we are wasting way too much on rent. It will all depend though if our landlord will let us go as we originally signed up for a two years, and it only has been one year. Fingers crossed something gets worked out between both parties :)

First of all, I have to say you are a very good and responsible father:) I will try to save for the future. As nobody will know what will happen tomorrow. My son is 3 years old today, and I've saved for his future education. I become very economic but I am glad to it. As I have a big ambition:)

Well when it comes to savings my formula of salary is: Salary = salary received for the month - targeted investments or planned investments that's my salary because every person has a habit of spending more when u earn more you spend more this is proven practice e.g., if you are earning 8000 buks and you were spending 5000 buks every month and when your salary increases from 8 to 10 your expenses also in increases to 8000 that means your increment in salary is just 2000 but your increment in expenses is more than that

No, not a drop and it makes me miserable, it sim ply has to stop.I have to sneak any penny i save, or its gone immediately into the bill vortex!

Oh how nice of you to spend for everyone you love. I do have an above average income too, and like you I feel like what I make is not enough. I'm not luxurious, infact I'm cheap. I don't want be left with zero, because I would not enjoy working if I don't enjoy the money I make. I do keep a little bit every payroll plus I keep my 5 and 10 peso coins too.

well being a single mom and the only one supporting my baby, its really hard to save. like you my salary is already counted for. although i sometimes get so save a little, there are always unexpected expenses. like a week ago when my baby got sick, i had to withdraw my saving for his medicines. im actually thinking of finding a part time job to save a little more for my baby's future.

usually i spend everything in couple of hours

actually i m a student and wrk as a online trader in stocks and shares. also i earn thru this mylotting now. over all i earn lik 50$ per mnth and to be frank all of thm are spent over the whole of next mnth since i get the money at the end of mnth. i try to save my money by putting away atleast 5 $ a mnth wen i cn do witout it!
