Saving money when one has

I made a ridiculous amount of money one time and went through it all with nothing to show for it. So the next time I was paid, I had some put into a savings account and some into retirement so I wouldn't be able to do that again. It served me well. I looked at many options for putting my money away from me so that I would have it later on when I needed it and thank goodness I did.

Well, I do save money. I just don't buy things out of the blue. I plan on it before putting my money on the line. hehehe.

I believe in the maxim-Make hay when the sun shines.I always like to work hard earn as much as possibe and save it up.I am one who would think twice before spending .Only the most neccessary things I will purchase.I dont simply buy and waste .I would invest in gold because I believe that gold is a good investment which will fetch good returns .

Yes, this happened to me several times. As much as I want to stay on budget, there are just times that I overspend.

Actually, I always save my earnings even before, I don't like spending it all, I also make it a point to stick on my budget, because earning money is so hard nowadays because of recession, I am very thankful that I have a stable job, so I don't want to waste it for useless things.

I'm actually smart with my money. I've never had money to just spend on random things. So to even think of buying something that isn't absolutely necessary makes me feel guilty. Although my dad never saves. He's always spending what he doesn't really have. I think that if you have a hundred you'll spend it. But if you have a hundred one dollar bills, you're not as likely to. thats my personal method for saving money. Break the big bills until you've only small ones left. It works to keep a large bill from "Burnning a whole in your pocket"

I am a good saver. I do not spend unwisely. It is very simple. As soon as you get the money, go to the bank, put so much in it, and do not spend it or when you go out, only take so much. I think ten percent is a good way to start. That way you will not miss that ten percent.

Hi there! It happens to me all the time. I remember having "I will save money and spend it wisely" as my annual new year's resolution and then I just gave up on having new year's resolution after a few years. I tend to buy things even when I don't need them most especially when it's on sale. I always count the money that I will saving without knowing when I should that I could have saved more if I didn't buy something that I don't need.

It happens with me also. On 1st of the month I get salary and up to 25th its almost finish , last week is very difficult. From this month I have increased my online activity on mylot and other sites hope it will fill the gap for those days.

I have learned to save money in almost every possible way that I can. The only bad thing is, with bills, bills, and more bills...even though I make pretty decent money, I still end up coming up with little to nothing left over at the end of the month. One of the things that hits me hard is child support, because they definitely do not look at both sides of the story when it comes to that....they just basically opened up my wallet and commenced the painful process of extracting every last cent that I had left over from paying bills. But yeah, being single, having no one to help, and having a child that doesn't live with you that you have to support, definitely doesn't make it easy to spend unwisely...
