I am always trying to save money for several reasons. I like to live according to my means and not get into debt. That means that I need a cushion, just in case. These months I have had to use my saved money in part for my cancer treatment. Although most of it is covered by the government´s health service and an insurance, there are still things that noone pays for. I don´t spend much money on clothes so my main expenses are household bills (and I save as much as I can), food and some meds. I have been using my online earnings for my only luxury, vacations, for several years. I don´t know how I will do this year.

I am past the time when I have to save enough money for a house. I have a house of my own and I think every now and then if I should sell it and rent a smaller place. As it is, I feel safe having it, because if I really need money I can sell it.

I think everybody is trying to save money because the economic situation is not improving at all. It's really disappointing and i'm sure it's not happening in your country alone.

Bus and train is more expensive over here as driving your own car. BTW prices are increasing everywhere and income is getting less and less. I wish I could say I could easily safe money on buying no clothes but I already don't do that since years and am happy people give me clothes for my kids (I do the same with them), toys etc. So I walk or go by bike. I don't think there is anything anymore I can safe money with except for the food. I just talked about that with my daughter btw. I do safe money each month from my income (put it on a separate account, a bit for the kids and for me) we live from what is left over, which is very small.

Yes, today, price of gas, and many commodities are expensive, so we should save money. In my country, bus is very cheap but is not very good.
I hope that you can save more and more money.
Thank my friend.

Yeah, I will be living with myself to work away from home in May. I have to save money to help my parents lessen the financial burdens. I try to save as much as I could. There's a lot of costs and expenses that I will be facing. Board and lodging costs, electricity and water costs, transportation costs and food expenses. I hope I can also save money for the things that I want and need to buy. Hope you can buy a laptop in the end of the year. Good luck!

I do save money when I can but usually it's by coming to sites such as this and earning some pocket change. I've recently bought a table that would have cost me atleast $100.00 but I got it for $67.09 with a savings of $42.86.

Hi vovandat! Like you, I am also trying to save up money. The amount of money in my savings bank account isn't that big and my goal is to reach twenty thousand dollars after two years. I only have three hundred dollars on my bank account converted from our local currency. THis summer, my plan is to make money through internet. One of ehich is by blogging and also here in Mylot. I hope I'll save more even just a little. Best of luck to the both of us. Happy mylotting!

You're not alone with the prices going up. The same thing here. Prices keep on going up and the salaries stay the same. It is real hard to save money these days. It's not like it used to be. Nothing is in sync with each other. But good luck on saving for a laptop.

Sorry, but I got to tell you it's practically impossible to understand your trial to speak english. You should take a good course, at least online. And also, I'm so sorry about this increase in prices you talk about, but it is something we cannot avoid. And the question is pretty senseless to me. Of course the big majority of people saves money! In today's world, saving is not an option, but an iperative.

Yes, you can save money by reduce water and energy. With me, I use water and energy not much so I save them not save more money. I use much money for household and transport.

yes we do and even my son. we already opened an account for him instead of a pre-need plan. you are right, same here in our country. everything increase except the salary and that is really hard for us with family already. we are saving in water and electricity usage as well. also, as much as possible we avoid eating outside home and just cook at home and it is even much healthier. aside from that, we do the grocery once a month so to save us from buying stuffs every now and then, haha.

I guess most countries especially those that imports fuel needed to run facilities for electrical power grids, transports and businesses are experiencing the same problem. Increasing prices of fuel have domino effects on basic commodities, if the price goes up so is the produce but employees salary remains the same.
Some have difficulty to save money because of the low pay.

Yes the price of gas increase and our life more difficult than before. In my country, the price of gas increase again on today. In May, basic salary increase but I thank that can't help our more because many goods are increase too. :(
