Pookette Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I have a friend that goes to the bar *all* the time. She blows anywhere from $20 to $50 a night. Try to curtail going out, if you do...? Another few...don't go out to eat, cancel magazine subscriptions, carpool/take public transportation, etc. I can think of oodles of suggestions.

toolman2 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 OK...I have some input that may help. 1. We would need a rough idea about what is spent on which items. 2. It may be easy to reduce some spending by just doing less of certain things, yet you need to treat yourself at times. 3. Many times you can shop for better intrest rates on credit. 4. Some things can be done in subsitution for others that are costly 5. See what college kids do to stretch the money....they are resourceful you can send me a message if you have time, and I can gather more ideas Good luck Link to post Share on other sites

Anais Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Work really hard. No I am serous this time. I do it! And you know what? I have no time to spend the money I earn!!!!!! This is a real problem. You also need not to have too many poor relatives then it might work to save. Link to post Share on other sites
Guisi Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Hi Lexmike4e First and foremost stop going to the mall. Learn how to use items you already have, with jewelry, belts and shoes. Mix and match the clothes you all ready have Eat breakfast at home and take your lunch ( Boring I know). Stay away from Star bucks!!!! If you have the will-power cut down to just basic cable, cancel your home phone service or your cell phone!!! You really don't need both. Good luck!! Link to post Share on other sites
