How do I save money instead of spending it?
heyy.





you are 15 plus and still don't know how to save money?!


um..junk food is like an addiction. i am 13 and know exactly how it is. well i eat alot, because i swim and play b-ball alot.. but you could still save up money.


first of all, after reading this go to your fridge and give out all the unwanted stuff that you dont eat anymore. then, start on from this week making a record of how much you usually spend on buying anything. whether it's a ball, pet food, your food, PS game, roses...whatever. make a record. do this exercise for like a month and see if that's how much you spend regularly. in a constant pattern. if not go through the list again and see what you spent more money on. and next time don't buy it. after this, try and put yourself into activities that will carry you apart from food. i am guessing your a boy (??) maybe try football, basket ball, drums, guitar, drama anything..or even helping your neighbours clean up their mess. see?


from all this you could earn extra money and you could save up and also maybe lose weight.


i know sometimes we get tempted to buy stuff .. yes but them but not every single day. like i treat my self to candy every month that lasts me for long ..


it's not that hard. try it out.





hope this may work out..

Reply:Figure out something you want to buy that is worth more to you than junk food. Keep that thing completely focused in your mind. Put up pictures of it. Change your computer password to the name of that thing. Calculate how much junk food you have to give up to get it. Like, an iPod would cost 62 Big Macs. Or... the amount you spend on junk food in one year would pay for an entire semester's worth of college tuition. Do everything you can to remind you of how much you want it.





Having a replacement desire works very well.
Reply:when you get money, tell a person you trust, mother father brother, to put it in a safe you dont know the combination to. when you go shopping, only have enough money for what you need. say you need a thirty dollar filing cabinet, only take like 33/34 dollars so that you dont have extra money to spend
Reply:One thing I tried was I stopped buying junk food and started spending my money on more valuable things. It helped.
