If you make extra money online, save it, since it's extra income you can save it and not eel that you have to pull from your expenses now.

The cash jar is a great idea the above poster posted, what I wanted to add is you set a goal for each earning week and or day. In other words do not set too high, but even if it $5 - $10 dollars each pay, you set that aside each and every time. No matter what expenses come up you continue to set aside the same amount.
Before you know it you will have a cushion, one of which you can consider a saving. I am one who has both PayPal and Alertpay, and what I do is keep some money there. This way it is not as quickly accessible and this way I am able to save for a rainy day.

Hi Acey
Yes I have a tip for you I just started keeping cash jars that I use for things like gas,food,entertainment etc... so that I don't end up sliding my debit or charge cards to pay for those types of things I put myself on a budget (basically a cash only budget and only use my credit card for emergencies)
It takes some getting used to and it isn't easy at times but if you only spend what you have on hand then you won't go overbudget
