Saving money is very important to me because i'm still a student. I save my money by separating the coins and putting them in a large glass bottle. i only keep the 5peso and 10peso coins though.

You are right, saving money is difficult but if you know how to save money then it will be easy for your spending too. Why dont you try to have piggy bank, deposit $1 or $2(whatever you can effort)everyday... Just forget about this bank and every month you open it up and deposit in your Regular Saving Account. I am sure you will be surprise when you see how much you save in a month. I always do for my children.

the way that i save money is by putting into a account that i dont have a debit card for and i that i set put for only deposits. i tend to put most of my money in there so that when i want to take a vacation i would be able to. for me its not that hard to save money. it helps making money online because most of that money gose into that account making it bigger and bigger. i tend to budget my money so that i know how much i'm going to need for bills and food, and what ever i have left i tend to take some of it and put it in the bank.

I save one TWD peices and put them in my jar. So if I buy something for 96 cents, I keep the 4 and eventually put it in the bank.

yes saving money even being a student is indeed very important because wejust can't be dependent on our parents all the time we have our own expenses at times which we ourselves have to take care so what i could suggest you is to save your money in a big bottle so that you can keep on putting money for a longer period of time and then when you require you can take it off

I do exactly the same thing, and have been doing it for years. I think it's a really good way to save easily, as I don't really like carrying around tons of coins anyway.

I see how much i've left at the end of the week and i save the notes rather than coins because i don't want my money container full of coins. Some of my saved up notes i deposit into my bank account.
