#6969 How to save money

As we all know, if you don't have money you won't be able to do much in this world. So start saving your money at a young age. It will add up quick.

There is plenty of ways to save money. First, you need to open a savings account at your local bank. Every pay check you should put at least 20 to 30 percent of it in the savings account and the rest into your checking account. Doing so allows you to build money up just in case you need money to fall back on. Like if you get sick one week and have to miss work. Well then you have money to fall back on, or you could be saving for a down payment on a car or house.

Now lets talk about food. Always go shopping for food when your in a hurry or when your full. It will save you a bunch of money. Also watch for expiration dates. Sometimes the food may go bad in two days. When eating you should try and eat at home, not going out every night. Pack a lunch 4 days out of the week, on the fifth day give yourself a present and go out to eat for lunch with some co-workers.

We all know that debt is a bad thing. When in debt always try and pay off your loan as quickly as possible. Make your payments on time and avoid late fees. I have a room mate that overdrafts his bank account like 3 times a week. Each time he over drafts it cost him 30 bucks. He is a complete dumb ass! That is exactly the opposite of what you should do to save money.
