Do you save money?

Yes, I do save money, because I want to go to beijing to see the Olympics. But I found saving money is so difficult for me. At the begainning, I save the money in my bank account, but usually, I can't control myself and I always use the money to buy something I like, it makes me have no money in my account. And now, I make another account in the bank. The money in one account is for buying something, and the rest money in another account is for saving. Though this method, I really save some money.

I don't use bank accounts. What i do, is put about 3/4 of my money in a CD, because it gives me about $40 inerest off o f $800. Much more then a bank account.

I want to save money in the bank also, but I don't have the spare money now as I need to pay for the apartment. So, I need to earn more in other ways and means too,maybe second job, and I am considering about it now.

i ahve a bak account specifically ATM. it is very convenient for me so that wherever i go i will not bring large amount of money. i can get money anywhere throug my ATM and it feels good to earn your own money and then save it for future use.

I am all for having savings! I think an empty bank account is terrifying. I wouldn't dream of being unemployed without having saved a single cent! Not only is that foolish but it's just too scary to think about. It's like jumping in the ocean not knowing how to swim. I say the bigger your savings---before you quit a job--the better! On a personal note, I happen to think that if you have savings, you can afford to not start looking for another job right away. I'm not saying you have to spend all your money during your unemployment, I'm saying that at least you can tell yourself, at least I'm not jobless AND broke!
