What's the best way to save money if you make $6.00/hr

Keeping track of what you spend your money on is a great way to start. You need to cut out all extras, like buying coffee outside of your home, buying lunch at work, eating fast food, etc. Saving money = not spending money. Turn off your lights when leaving a room, turn down the heat and dress warmer. Make a gorcery list before you go food shopping and stick to it. Buy bulk whenever possible, cut and save coupons on items you use. Doing some of these suggestions will help you stretch your paycheck and can give you a little bit more to save each week. I opened up a savings account with ING and have a set amount taken from my checking account twice a month. It's not much, but it adds up over the course of a year and at 4.20% interest it keeps growing. I also save all my change in a old coffee can at the end of the day. When it fills up, I take it to the bank and cash it in. The last one had a little over $110 in it and I used 1/2 of it for some Xmas presents and the other 1/2 was used on maintaining my car (oil change, winterizing, a couple new belts, etc) It isn't easy, but we try to save as much as possible by cutting back.

At any local library, they should be able to get you a book called The Tightwad Gazette. Trust me; it'll change your life. Take care, Pleady1

Well, it's hard to tell you where you could cut costs without knowing much about your living situation. But one really good money saving tip for when you are shopping is to hold each item in your hand for at least ten seconds before putting it in the basket. While you are holding it, ask yourself "Do I really NEED this item, or do I simply WANT this item?" If you can't honestly say you need a thing, put it back on the shelf.
