Sometimes... In my past, I was really bad at saving money but now I realize how important it is to my future.

How about putting at least, $20-$40 a month away into an ING account. No, I do not work for them but, I decided that if I put that much away a month and not touch it, then in 5, 10 or 15 years from now, I will have a nice nest egg. Didn't hear anything negative about them but there are others out there you may like to put your money in to collect interest for yourself! I hope this helps! So far, it has been 6 months now and my interest rates are increasing. So, I'm happy I did it.

Could you provide a little more detail please? The approximate amount that you are short by?\n\n\n\nOne good way to start is to start saving. That sounds very obvious, but please hold on. In the US there is not much emphasis placed on saving, no one teaches you how to save. Small things go a long way, for example a coffee everyday costs you $100 a month depending on where you live: so dropping that habit saves $100! And its good for your health and heart. Smoking is another example, but unfortunately its harder to let go. \n\nSaving on fuel: try using the bus for medium distance commutes. Its not bad, trust me! I take the bus to work everyday. I get my commute done in $40 per month.\n\nYou pitched in to help your family, so its time for them to help you back. Don't hesitate to ask them to babysit your kid once in a while. That I believe saves a lot. If they don't, or if you think they are neglecting your kid, its time to break that parasitic relationship.\n\nTry looking for a job that permit you to work from home, so that you don't need a babysitter. Anything that involves typing for example. But beware of internet job sites, a majority of them are hoaxes. For example, the secret-shopping thing is a hoax 99% of the time. If an offer sounds too good to be true, it is probably not true. \n\nIf you have a kid old enough to do math, it is good idea for you and him/her to let him/her calculate your credit vs. debit everyday. Initially it may be cumbersome and more tiring than doing the darn thing yourself, but it pays off in the long run. Maybe you can ask him/her to sit down while you are cooking, and you recall today's expenses and earnings. He can enter them in two columns, add entries in each column and subtract to give nett daily savings. My mom did that to me :-)\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AtScV0GM2DTZVRGW1tmxxuYezKIX?qid=1006050319925\nlooks to be a professional answer.

Make a deal with yourself to save a certain percentage of your money.  Think through things that you want to buy. Don't just buy on impulse.  Use coupons at stores and compare prices at different stores before buying something so you can buy it cheaper.  Have self-discipline.   =)

My and my fi have ours like this\nJoint Checking- bills\nJoint Saving- for our wedding and house repairs.\nHe has another checking\nand I have another saving account.\nBoth of us put 75-85% of what we make in the joint account.\n\nI don't think it really matters if it's a checking or saving but you should have a little money put aside for you.  \nI had friends who just went to see a $ planner and he told them the same thing.  It helps you save and spend wisely plus gives you a little Independence.

I signed up for my employer's HSA and high deductible plan for next year.  From the research I've done it seems that it's a good deal if you stay healthy.

One that pays enough to cover your expenses and a little extra to save.

The best thing I did to save money is own my own home.  It's paid off as well as any debts a person would normally have.  This has allowed me to have my paycheck for my own use.  I've built on to the house using money earned one week at a time.  To get like this I cook my own meals, bring my lunch, drink homemade tea instead of soda.  I shop carefully and buy used when I can.  I live well at 7.15 an hour part time.

With a savings account you can earn interest.\nBut its always good to put some of your money away so you have something to fall back on if there is an emergency.  \nSaving your money will make you feel more finacially secure.

Pay off those charges, especially if your interest rate is over 10%.  It's always good to have some money in savings, but if you want your money to go further, get rid of those charges, it's like paying a middleman for an item purchased for YEARS!!!

A good budget is one you that makes sense for you.\n\nFirst you need something to save for, new shoes, car, vacation, retirement etc.\n\nNow you have items to save for place a dollar value next to them and a time frame. For example: New shoes $120 12 months = $10 a month.\n\nYou will have in your budget items that are considered 'fixed' items - like rent/mortgage, utilities, gas/transportation, etc.\n\nLine your fixed items up, then your goals under that, next to all of them will be your monthly figure. Once you have a total, you subtract that from your net(in pocket) pay.\n\nYou will either have money left over OR you will not have enough - this is when you need to rework your budget - for example: New shoes $120 2 years (24 months) = $5 and so on.\n\nI have used new shoes, but of course it can be anything that is important to YOU.\n\nPlease consider, as part of your budget, money for emergencies. Six to twelve months of FIXED living expenses (or somewhere in between ) is a good number. This (emergency fund) may take you a while, but it will be well worth it when you have an emergency.\n\nIf you have a preadsheet program, Xcel or any other, this will make the calculations easier - as it will recalculate as you change items.\n\nGood luck!

Try saving $1000 per month for 15 months.  If that's too difficult, try saving $230.77 per week for 65 weeks.  If that's too difficult, try saving $32.90 per day for 456 days.  If that's too difficult try saving $1.37 per hour for 10944 hours.  If all of these are too difficult, the problem is that you are a woman...instead try buying $30,000 worth of shoes at half off.
