How can a low income earner take care of himself well and still have enough to save?

Pay off all of your credit cards (if you have any), cut them up except one and keep that one for emergencies (REAL emergencies). Take what you were paying to your CC and put it in a savings account. You can also open an account and 15% of you monthly income into it. You should also write yourself a budget, this will show you what you are currently spending your money one, what you can cut out of your expenses and allow you to budget.

love the pic...One thing you will need to do is look over all your expenses and what you have to pay and what you might not really need...When making purchases look and look then buy ..get in a habit for purchase other then nessities you shop around and really think do I really need that or can I do with out..soon you will see you are able to save some..I am not rich and work at home and support myself. I I do not have alot of money but..my bank offerd a great deal to open up a cd (certificate of deposit). I was able to open it up for 25.00 each month now I put in 25.00..does not seem much but just go a statement now and wow I did not miss the money really and I have alot in there and with the intrest rate was better than the saving account...
