Just don't buy stuff.

Don't buy a snare drum? When I'm saving on something, I only buy the stuff I need, and put whatever money is left at the end of the month into savings

1.) Find something really expensive that is for sale, lets say $5000

2.) Decide not to buy it

3.) You just saved $5000

4.) Profit

You need to be as economic as possible.

 

Spend money only on very necessary things that keep you alive.

really dude.

When I was kid I used to save money by not spending them. I stored everything I got until I got sufficient amount to buy something. I usualy saved something around $500 a year, thats not much for a year but I had no job or anything. But it also comes down to how much money you are given and how much you can keep and not spend.

 

If you are not kid... just work and earn money.. save what you can.

There are a few ways to easily save money. Two of which being these:

 

• Stop drinking soda if you are. Switch to tap water.
• Stop eating at fast food restaurants. Bring your own meals for lunch (if you are working). Preparing a week's worth of food and freezing it down also works.

If money doesn't leave your pocket ;

then you have more money

so basically i need to become a cheap bastard?

Prepare your own food if you don't already - switch to cooking your own foods from base foods, then you can save a lot of money and learn how to cook.

Stop drinking anything but tap water - if that's potable. Otherwise drink the cheapest trustable bottled water.

Don't buy anything you don't need. Chewing gum? Go without it.

Sell things you don't particularly want.

Start walking/cycling (if you can) instead of using other forms of transport, they're generally much cheaper alternatives if they're feasible.

Yes, or earn more and spend the same.

[GlassBomb]

No soda?!

 

You would be amazed by how much it costs over time.

Yes, preferably a greedy ass or a complete miser. ^^

but i dont really do like my own groceries, im 14 m8. 

[as96]

If you want to save money, spend it only on extremely important stuff that you need for living (food,water...)

[as96]

but i dont really do like my own groceries, im 14 m8. 

If you are 14 don't spend your money at all, that's how you save them, if you are asking for a way to save money and buy whatever you want at the same time, just close the topic now.

 im 14 m8. 

 

And that should pretty much be the end of this thread... Minimum working age in Holland is 16.

Then don't spend money on candy and such. And ask your parents if you can be with them when they are cooking food. Knowing how to cook is something that you will keep with you for all your life.

If you haven't yet got a job get one. 

Restaurants usually want people doing the dishes it ain't great but you'll get some money. 

Or you could go for a paper round, I had one when I was 14 it payed pretty well approx 4.50€/hour.
