With the way the economy is right now, it seems like I am using every single penny of my paychecks. I used to be able to stick 50 to 100 dollars back per check but now I can not seem to save anything. Or whenever I look in my bank account and say, "I will transfer about 100 to my savings account." I always find something else to spend it on or some other reason that I should keep it in my checking account. THEN if I spend all of that I TAKE from my savings saying I will put it back and I never do. What is truly the best way to save money. I don't mean buying in bulk, unplugging electronics kind of saving, i mean like..truly NOT spending, and hiding from it yourself. We have a piggy bank that sits in the living room that we put dollars and loose change in. my boyfriend is so good at setting a goal he says someday that bank will pay our last months rent. I dont know how he does it. If it werent for him id be taking money out of that bank too!!! haha help! how do you save money?

Well you start by making a list.
Of all the things that are necessity's and the things you don't have to have.
This may include things you buy at the grocery store.
Look at how many times you go out to eat?
Even if it's twice a week, this can all add up.
Buying things in bulk are not a bad idea if you know you purchase and use the same thing every week.
Saving change is a wonderful idea.
Think about this if you saved one dollar a day that is seven dollars a week and twenty eight dollars a month and three hundred twenty six dollars a year.
See what a little change can do?
Look for part time jobs, you can find something to sell such as Avon etc.
I wish you the best of luck
and happy savings!
