I dont know why but no matter what I do, I always end up not being to save anything from my salary. There's just a lot of expenses and I feel like my salary is just there to pay all our bills and for the maintenance and for our food. There is nothing left for savings. How about you? Can you still save money out of your salary and just keep them safe in the bank?

I just got hired last month and I haven't received any salary cause my papers are still on process. When I was still in my previous job, I wasn't able to save money cause my salary then was very small.

Congratulations on your new job. I am trying to learn to live a frugal life right now, I am so serious on saving more money. Hope it works out. Hopefully you get to save a lot of money too. Thanks for the comment!

Hi! At times, I can save a bit from my salary. I have been trying to make saving my priority every pay day. :)

just now i was thinking to make saving with buy some gold. it is a good invest. just cut it form the first time you get your salary and then you can manage the rest. if you just trying to save it at the end of the month you won't make it

Yes, I save every month, and have been doing this for years. I think it is a matter of habit. For me it is really important to save, so I make it a priority!

You're about the salary being there to pay all the bills, I too also pay the bills and stuff but I shared with my household members paying off the bills since Japan is bills killers when it comes to that. But I never forget to keep some for savings, even not that big amount nor very small amount but still better save a little bit than nothing:)

When you think that you should save money, you never will. But when the should becomes a must, than you will save money at any cost. I have don that and i know it.

I also don't save money out of my salary. Grocery, allotted budget for everyday expenses and also just for paying my bills and nothing left. I can't even save money for emergency purposes.
