Good for you for saving!  Too few people do that these days.\n\nBoth emergency and savings should be in a savings account or a VERY low risk mutual fund, where you can get to them pretty quickly if you need them.  They are designated as such by you, not the bank.\n\nAn emergency fund is just what it says - money you keep around (in an account, of course) for emergencies - unexpected medical bills, unexpected car repairs, etc.  The key here being UNEXPECTED expenses.  \n\nA savings fund is what you use to save for higher cost items that you want to purchase (TV, computer, newer  - never NEW - car, home).\n\nIn addition to these, you should be accruing CASH in seperate envelopes for things you buy fairly often, but not necessarily every week (auto repairs, home repairs, clothing).  That way, when your're ready for some new clothes or it's time for the oil change, you have the cash on-hand.\n\nIt sounds like you have a good handle on your finances.  If you want more tips and advice, check out one of Dave Ramsey's books from the library ("Financial Peace" or "Your Total Money Makeover").

Rent a cheap apartment for a little while. During that time, save some money for a downpayment on a home. The more money you put down, the more money you'll save in the long run. The best bet is to get a 15 year, fixed rate. You'll save thousands of dollars in just interest alone.

I have found the best way of saving.  I was able to put away approximately $8000 in 18 months.  Look for www.sharebuilder.com.  Its an investment site.  You can purchase stock for $4.00, no matter how much stock you buy.  Do some research.  I chose companies based on the products i use in my daily life.  I found it be fun to save and also enjoyed shopping for new stocks.  The dividends usually pay better than any savings account, so give it a try.  It worked for me.

im 24 now, ive been really saving since i was about 19... try using Microsoft Money. Its personal finance software. It lets you keep track of your income and expenses. you can create a budget... and once you do, you'll see where you spend your money and you will realize what is important and what is not. when i started using that software, it got me more and more excited about money because you see what is coming in and going out.

The best savings account that I have found to date is with Emigrant Direct. They are currently paying out 3.92% on savings accounts. The best part is that there is not a minimum to open the account and everything is done online. You simply send them a deposit and thats it. They must first verify your information, however this process isn't very time consuming. There isn't any hassle and they offer great service. You can go to their website, which is http://www.emigrantdirect.com, for more information.

Best advice: DON'T FOCUS ON THE MONEY!\n\nStraight from Donald Trump himself--the best way to make the big bucks is to find something THAT YOU LIKE TO DO\n\nIf you don't like doing it, you're not going to want to work, even if it makes the big bucks.\n\nFind something you like to do and go from there.

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.

Figure out how much you make each month - take home, not gross. Figure out how much you owe each month. How much is left over? That is what you live on and/or SAVE and/or use to pay off high interest loans, credit cards, etc. If there is no money left over then you need to get better paying job or a second job.\n \nDon't spend more than you earn. Don't use credit cards unless you can pay off the balance each month. Clip and use food coupons. Ask yourself if you will be terribly inconvenienced if you don't buy *whatever*. Keep your car tires inflated so you don't waste gas. Carpool. No impulse buying. Go to the library and read books on bugeting and saving money.

get a savings account with someone else (like a parent or spouse, depending on your age) and put some money in it every time you get paid. make sure that it is a savings account that requires both peoples signature to withdrawl money. this is what I did when I wanted to save money and it worked great!

Start by saving small amounts, maybe the change you have in your purse after any purchases. If you use shopping coupons try saving what the money you saved from the coupons. If you work, try setting up a savings account where your employer deposits the money into your savings account. You might find that if you don't see the money, you  might not spend it. If you can get by with a small amount of savings try increasing the amount and see how that works. If you get a large tax refund when you file your taxes, have your employer adjust your witholding to a lower amount and try  to save the difference. Once you get in the habit of saving you will have success.   Good Luck!

The BEST legal way is...\n1.  To find a job you love.  Work is the only sure fire money making scheme.  And if you do what you love, you will make money becasue you will be good at it.\n2.  Stay out of debt.  Don't borrow any more money for any reason and pay off your current debt.\n3.  Have a 3-6 month emergency fund to keep from going into debt when things go wrong\n4.  After you are out of debt, and you have the emergency fund, invest 15% of you income in mutual funds.
