we are now in the recession period that's why a lot of us find trouble in keeping our expenses to a tight budget. But somehow we always think for the future. do you still save money every month? or you just spend it all?

Yes, I do, even though it is sometimes hard. But I think it is really important. So I have automated some savings (meaning they get taken off as soon as I get paid), and I also save besides that, depending on how much extra I have each month.

I save money every month. I always count my spending each month. By doing that, if in one I spend money more than it should be, in another day I have to spend less than what I have planned. Example that I plan just to spend $2 or $3 in one day but I spend more than that, the next day I will have to reduce the money I want to spend. But doing that, I can keep my money in balance. It helps me a lot to manage my spending. You can try that too.

If I had the money to save, I would. However, what I make from my part time job is just a few bucks more than what my current budget is and so I really can't afford to save any money at all. If and when I get a better paying job, I will gladly start saving money again because I think that having a good solid savings account is a great way to someday be able to purchase items that greatly improve your quality of life. I think that these days, even with the economy the way it is, people still spend too much money on needless, over priced items that they could just get at Walmart for a lot cheaper.
