I have been saving money since i began to work after my university. My husband used to be a guy who used up salary every money by going out to have drinks very often. After we got married he began to love to save money too . What's your experience ? I know some young people don't save any penny at all . Please share.

Oops! I have no money now. Me & savings seems like Dog & cat, never go hand in hand. If I have $100 with be, I will be spending $110. May be I will be a better in terms of savings once I have a family or so(well that's my assumption & may not be anywhere near reality)

Since I started working a job that has allowed me to really save some money I've really tried to put away a small amount of money if possible. I've really tried to put away at least $10 each paycheck which for me is $20 a month. I know $20 a month isn't a lot, but it's a lot better than not putting anything away at all. I use a high interest savings account so I earn a better return on the money I have in the bank than I would if I used a regular savings account at the bank I have a checkings account with.
I do occasionally spend more money that I would like to but I really do try and limit the amount of money that I spend if I can help it. I try to stock up on food when there are good sales, I try to stay in more and stay away from spending too much if I can help it. I really want to make it a point to put away as much money as I can each month because I know at some point it may come in handy.

In my opinion saving money is really important for each of us in case that we are in need of money some day. And also by saving money we can live better and better.

The savings habit was incalculated by my mother at a very early age. I have been saving money from my young age. Of course, some time I spend it all at one go. Now days I save money every month, but of late, it is quite hard to save , because of the rising cost of all the things, like gas, vegetables,milk, transport etc.

Same situation here . Everything now is getting more and more expensive but our salary remains unchanged. Poor us.

I used to spend spend spend my money until I met my husband. Then I stopped spending so much. It's not that I spent so much on stuff I didn't need, but I did spend my money unwisely. Now we spend it on things we need and things we want but we are sure to atleast be able to get by with it and also pay our bills etc.

I try to save as much as I can, but it's really not easy, as I'm still in university. My fiance and I are having a difficult time saving any kind of money. Especially now that we're getting married in a little over a month, and we're both in school. It's not that we don't want to. Forces are working against us, to a certain degree.

I did not save any money back when I was younger since I always got money. But now that I do not, I have learnt it the bad way but it hit me hard. Now I am anticipating to earn more so that I have emergency money for a rainy day. Even a penny is very important for me because I just want my son to also learn it early so that once he goes his own way one day, he have enough for himself or even for his own family.

No I dont have the habit of saving the money since I dont care about tommorows problems for todays problems are enough to handle with therefore I leave my tommorow to my Father Jesus Christ and see that today I live as per his Law and never try to hurt him.I try to make every day a good day in the eyes of my Lord.
Jesus is coming soon so dont be in a hurry to earn more and save more but be in a postion that if God comes now you should be ready to go with him.If you say no Lord wait for 1 day I will spend all my money and come he will not wait so think wisely before you earn save and spend.
May Grace of Lord Jesus be with you always and forever For his grace is sufficient.
GOD comes suddenly,do not let him find you sleeping.What I say to you,I say to everyone: "be alert".Mark 13:36
