How To Save Money As A

Save money or spend money?

That balance is different for everyone. If you are young and just starting out in life, you have the luxury of making that money later. But the extra money might also give you a good head start for a life together.

If it were me, I'd figure out what my financial goals were and then figure out if that money would bring me much closer to my goals or only a little bit closer. You have to balance this with what you think you'll earn in the future.

If you're studying to be a lawyer or doctor and are going to make a lot of money anyway, forget about going overseas; the money will come. But if you're studying business and a year of foreign experience would not only earn you lots of money but also enhance your resume so that you could get a better job when you come back, then it might be worthwhile because it would help you with the rest of your life.

How to save money on section-8?

I am a little confused:
- You said if you try to save you would have to help towards the rent which will not let you get anywhere and be stuck at home.

You say you don't save money because Section 8 locks you in. However, in fact, Section 8 doesn't tell you to spend all of your money, so that you can get away with not paying a couple of extra dollars in rent. If you did save some money, you are not going to have to pay hundreds of dollars or something toward Section 8. I honestly think you have used this as an excuse to continue living with your mom and not really setting your own goals as a 25 year old adult. Just by saving $50 a month, you could have had $600 in a year. And that isn't even how much you probably spend on your cell phone bill. Double that amount, you could have had $1200, and even if you had to pay towards your rent........some savings is better than nothing at all at the end of the day.

What are some easy ways to save money?

hey man, it is kinda easy to save money if you dont have to burn through it on bills. fortunatley i know how to save and that is the only way that i am staying afloat right now. after getting layed off 2 months ago i am depending on my savings to keep my head above water. well for starters, take your lunch and snacks to work with you. get you a good sized lunch bag and pack you a luch. instead of getting the coca cola brand or pepsi brand drinks get store brand drinks get a big variety pack of tater chips. make you a sandwich or something and take it all with you. when i was working i figured it up and when i started doing this i saved my self about 100 dollars a month. now the key is to set a goal for your self. everyone needs atleast 3 months of savings. that covers all your bills. figure up how much you need to survive for 3 months. rent, electic, water, insurance what ever. and you also need an entertainment fund. figure out how much you need to survive (not have a blast) survive from week to week. take what you have left and put 75 percent into your savings and the other 25 perent in your entertainment fund. the trick is to only use what is in the entertainment fund for entertainment. dont dip into the emergency fund to have fun off of. just make a goal and stick to the goal. oh yea, before you start putting away for your emergency fun gather all your bills, ones that are not like electric rent, gather any out standing medical bills, car payment, what every and take what you would put into your emergency fun and knock out these bills. you knock out those bills and then start saving. if you do this (and lord forbid you loose your job) all these little bills will be payed off and you will have 3 months of savings that you can depend on and still have a little in your entertainment fund if you need it. man i know that i rambled on and on but trust me right now now one can afford to throw away money (well some can) save every penny that you can put it away for your future. right now i am living off my savings and it is running to a quick end and i hope that i have a job before then but if i didnt have these savings i probably would not still have a roof over my head or food on the table for my family. good luck with your savings
