how to save my money?

I usually have my own financial planning every month. I have planned how much I would probably save this month. so that I would only spend the money outside the saving programs. I realize that there are too much temptations to buy something, but with the planning program you wouldn't spend that much. Start on the planning, I hope you would see the result..

What I do is I put aside a certain percentage of my salary the day I receive it. That way I won't spend all and end up with nothing. The idea is to pay yourself first before anything. Make sure you never touch the amount that you set aside or the plan will fail. Stick to it and it will grow over time. Hope this helps a bit.

my advice to you would be to write down every penny that you spend and see where it is going. stop buying needless stuff (make do with what you have) and find other alternatives to spending money (instead of going to a movie, rent one or get one for free from the library!)

i think you might consider forcing yourself to save. when you get your salary, put aside a small amount at a place you can't touch. i put it into a separate savings account that i don't have an atm card. after that, i'll try to survive on what is left for the month. of course you don't want to set aside so much that you can't survive on what's left. it's important not to touch the amount as once you start, you'll probably spend it all. that's what happened to me when i first started. cheers ;p

I have investment for fund NT$20000 per month. it will force you to save your money. although i didn't earn the money from fund. Maybe after 1~2years the investment will be retrieved.

Yeah write down everything you spend money on. Where do you shop? I dont know where you live, but if you live in the UK shop at Aldi. Some people turn their noses up at that, as the food isn't branded, but it's just as good as every else, just costs you about half the price that it would do in a big supermarket! Also, you should post a lot more in this forum to boost your income a little bit. And invest any money that you do have left over in a reputable website. That way you will be able to sit back and watch yourself make some nice profits. You will have enough money for the little things in life then :)

I think that a good idea in order to save money is to open a seperate bank account. When you get your paycheck deposit a set amount in each time. (like ten percent for instance) Make sure that you have plenty of deposit slips but dont keep the check card or debit card on hand.In fact see if you can just not get one in the first place so you have to physically go to the bank to withdrawl money from it. this way it is easier to put money in and harder to take money out, I hope this helps.
