Saving Money.

I like spending money, but I also like saving money which can be difficult considering the way prices are rising. I try to save as much money as possible but I always want to buy something usually. Refraining from purchasing unnecessary things such as that five dollar starbucks coffee everyday can save you a great ton of money everything. The most I spend a month on coffee is $15-$20 a month. Another slow but surely way to save extra cash is to take $20-$50 out of each paycheck and put it into a savings account or into a shoebox. Also, instead of buying that new book, go take it out at your local library and that new movie that just came out, instead of going to see it in theatres, wait for it to comeout on tv or dvd and rent it. To save gas, Keeping your engine vitals and tire pressure maintained on a regular basis helps.

Another way to save extra cash, is do some extra work that you won't really be taxed on. If your younger and can't go to work legally, go around your neighbourhood mowing lawns and raking leaves or shoveling sidewalks and driveways depending on the season. Do some extra work for your parents such as taking out the trash, cleaning the garage, doing the dishes or just odd jobs that need to be done.

Summer of 2008 I probably earned $100 mowing lawns in the neighbourhood and about $300 working for my grandfather on his farm. So all in all, just spend wisely and save wisely.
