Saving money is not easy, money comes in and then money goes out. Finding a way to save anything seems impossible. Try these tips to save a few bucks a month

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Yourself
  • Self Control
  1. Step 1

    Bank accounts are great but nowadays even with savings account it seems the bank whittles away any savings you have with fees and whatever else they feel like doing with your account. lets face it banks are in it for the money so is you best interest their concern? If you dont have alot of cash in the bank probably not. So forget the banks, deposit money in Paypal and use this as extra savings.

  2. Step 2

    Quit bad habits like smoking, smoking cost 4 bucks a day if you smoke a pack a day...thats 120 bucks a month, if your spending it already deposit it in paypal and consider this an investment in your health and your security. Take extra change and save it every month in a jar or can. At the end of the month deposit it in Paypal. keep a checking account open just to use for transfers to Paypal which are free and take 3-4 business days.

  3. Step 3

    Eat in and do your own car maintenance. Grow a garden especially in the summer months. Cucumbers and tomatoes grow fast and yield alot of vegetables. Compared to what you pay in the store for these items you will save alot. Little things you do can help you save money...if yopu are feeling the pinch like alot of people dont despair and throw up your hands and let your house be forclosed and your car repoed, save a little at a time and your overall spending will be reduced to necessity and not things you want.
