Do you want to buy something special? I am currently saving to buy my daughter something really cool for her 20th birthday next month. Any ideas on gifts? And please don't say a 20 year old boy, she's already got one of those ... lol!

What a lovely idea, how about a nice piece of jewellery that she can keep forever, but let her choose if possible, or a watch or something she needs,camera, driving lessons etc? I'm saving up for a campber van but its gonna take forever.

Saving????? Is there such a thing. LOL I try but it seems as soon as I get ahead something sets me back again. You know the saying one step forward two steps back. It's a vicious cycle. I just paid off a bunch of bills today and voila the money is gone. The bills seem to go up faster then our wages do.

I'm saving money to pay off concert tickets. I hope I make enough of MyLot this month for that. Haha. Service charges jacked up the prices an extra $20.

Has your daughter had her birthday yet? Do wish her a Happy Birthday from me. I know my response is a little late. Anyhow, your question got me thinking and I think my answer would be that if I have any savings at all (not earning much these days) it would be for my old age. I do not want to depend on anyone or end up borrowingwhen I am too old or ill to work any more. Even old age homes cost quite a bit nowadays. And since I am single, I do think have to think ahead a bit.

I am saving up to buy another conure so I can breed my male. I need to save up 300 for her and she needs to be four years old. I received the one I have from my aunt, becuause she could not longer take care of him. For your daughter, well money is always nice. How about paying for her cell phone for x amount of time or something of that nature?

Paying towards her cell phone would probably be a welcomed gift and practical!

We are the same. I am saving for a birthday gift of my grand ma who will be celebrating her 80th birtday on March 22. I am trying hard myself to earn a little more here in mylot for this month and get paid next month. I am not sure what will I buy though, but I am thinking a nice dress for her. That's what she really likes. I just hope when the time comes, my mother will help me buy the dress if my money isn't enough. I just love my grandma.
