When we worked very hard to want to earn more, but found we often use more than our earning. Do you feel that? It's truth for me, when I went to shopmarket, I found it's expensive to buy something, vegatables, fruits, socks etc. Buy a little will spent your several dollars, even one day pay. If didn't buy and eat food, what physical we will have and work? It's so depressed for money, I am imaging when I can have enough money to buy anything, don't need to see what the price is before buy it, choose the food which I like to eat, buy beautiful clothes don't need to consider whether it is worthy to buy. Is it a good way to make extra money to live in the wonderful life? Start business or work as a employee? It is a complex question that we meet, we can't blame our parents who can't give our rich life. We should use our brains and hands to earn more. Mylotters, how about your suggestions?

To earn money it's been my habit to buy only the basic needs. My grandma have told me that if you don't have money to spend don't buy, if you don't have something to pay don't use a credit card.. that simple... i mean i'm only living a simple life for now because i want a better life in the future.

Your grandma's opinion was very right. For live a better future life, I should change my attitude to use money, don't waste any cents to buy rubbish. Thank you for your advices.

i do have a suggestion... how about saving 75% of your income and deposit it in a bank and do not withdraw it? I am pretty sure that there are banks in your nearest locality wherein you would be asked to accomplish a form stating how much you want to be deducted from your salary and they will automatically deduct it from you on your payday. The bank would then open an account on your behalf where they will dump your requested savings per payday. Another feature for this is that this should be a passbook account so that you wont be tempted to withdraw your money from an ATM. Another good suggestion is that you veer away from shopping malls so that you wont have to be tempted to shop away. And.. refrain from using your credit card. use it only during emergencies. You can try looking for sidelines that can give extra income.

Thank you so much for your suggestions, graceekwenx. Yes, I often save some money to my account card, and don't withdraw any money from the one. The worst problem was happened my credit card, I can't stop to use my credit card, when I went to shopping, when little cash left, I will use my credit card buy the goods, so I was to be a card slaves, I should pay back several hundred every month, I felt so tired to use credit card, I am considering to cancel my credit card, it's the only way to refrain use credit card.
