Saving shouldn't be that hard, but up it is. I have enough to buy groceries and non food items like toilet paper and soap and stuff. It is credit that gets me. When I went on hospice, the sheets I had would not fit. So I insured 4 sets of sheets and 3 sets of towels and washcloths. Then my birthday came and I bought myself an iPad. I ended up getting an Android and Gave my iPad to Kim and then I bought a laptop, thinking I would like it better, and I didn't. I ended up giving it to my son in law? So now my payments are up to $70 a month. I paid $10 extra. I wish I could pay more but I can't.
I could have returned everything but too much time had gone bring. Besides, my family enjoys the things I gave them.
So now I am going to save my mylot money in PayPal. I have 2 payments already saved. It will take a long time to save up a goodly sum of money. How about you? Do you have problems Saving?

I do not have problems saving. Since 5 years old, I already started saving every penny that I have. I only buy my needs (food and toiletries). I don't buy wants.

No I make a pretty good pay check and dont have a whole lot of bills. I put 400 in savings each pay check. Right now i have over 3,000 in my savings and about 400 in checking. I don't spend alot either so that helps too

We are in the same boat. I was saving at least 15% of my income but the past two months, I have not been able to do that. Expenses are going up. Right now, I'm, looking at other sources of income. My myLot earnings are going to my PayPal and I'm not touching those but it odes take awhile to save up a substantial amount.

I can't even save that much but I could save 50 dollars a month
That's cutting it close.

I have not been able to in a long while. I'm hoping when I find enough work I'll be able to slip som einto savings. I've been trying to pay off debts. I think it's cool you're saving your PayPal money.

It's really difficult. I think it will get easier once I get accustomed to it.

unexpected emergencies or such take chunks out of my savings mostly. such as a car battery about almost a month ago. but i look on the positive side, at least i had money saved to be able to buy a battery. when i can, i try to use coupons when i grocery shop, but its hard at times when the coupons arent there for things that you buy.

That's what happens to me but I'm not going to keep falling into that trap.

Saving money is hard! I am not very good at it. I feel like every time I save something, something comes up and I need to spend it.
