It is quite easy to save in some respect. I had a giant cash tin money box – the kind you can’t actually get into without using a tin opener. So, for the past few months, I’ve been putting in all my small change. All 20c, 10c and 5c pieces, sometimes 50’s and dollars. It was all going so well, then my company got bought out, and new management came. So practically all the employees got their hours reduced to next to nothing, and a bunch of Juniors got the positions. I am not angry at the juniors, they’re just trying to earn a crust like the rest of us, I’m furious at management. They already had perfectly capable staff, now they have to train new ones, all for they sake of $4.50 an hour each. We are all looking for new jobs.

Anyway, the moral of the story is that it’s GOOD to have savings! I was forced to crack open my tin, and I found $142.75 – enough for my rent deficit ($80) and bills ($57). And I could buy a cappucino. HOORAY FOR SAVINGS!!!!!!!
