do you save money for a time when one may need it? or do you go around and borrow money from friends and relative ?

Hi Janice.....and yes I try to save for a rainy day. It isn't much, because I am on disability annd I don't get very much, but I try and put all of my change everyday into a jug. It doesn't look like much,but it will add up someday and I will be able to use it someday when I need it. As far as borrowing from friends and relatives, they really aren't any better off than I am, so it is everyone take care of themselves. flutterby

Hi there! I will try to save up for a rainy day. A little a day and hope that I won't be using it. Because of the crisis I think saving is really going to be a problem for me.

i try to save, but every time i have some saved up, it seems like something always breaks down, the car or something in the house.

Yes, I do try to save whenever I have any excess after each month's expenses. Though I don't save much, I will still put aside some money in case of rainy day. Personally, I do not like to borrow money from people around, may they be friends or relatives. So, no matter what, I will still save a little just in case I need it one of these days.

This will be my first response (hehe) I do try to save money every once in a while. In fact, when I get a hold of some money, I put away some to be deposited into my bank account for when I need it the most. I make sure that as much as possible I don't ever borrow money from my relatives or other people since I don't want to be indebted to any of them. A little money saved a little at a time could amount to so much in the long run.
