save more money

I put half of my last paycheck into my savings..I’m going to put $100 from every paycheck into it from now on unless I NEED the money for an emergency or something..I’m planning a trip to Hawaii in May so it’s helping me save :) The only purchase I have made lately was a gift for a friend yesterday..With some of the money left over from my paycheck, I’m going to buy a pair of hiking boots..I need them, I don’t have a pair and am going showshoeing next weekend and for a hike the next weekend so yeah..I need them :)

I’m so broke..I have $13.00 in my spending account to last me through till next Wednesday! AH. I have enough in my savings incase of any major emergency or anything but otherwise I’m broke. Scary, I have never been this broke..and the worst part is the crap I purchased..

I’ve been doing a lot better at saving money..Partly because now I have a goal to save for..My parents are paying for my schooling now but when I’m done w/ this degree (B.S. in business administration), I’m really interested at this point in either going to school for nursing or getting my MBA, which I would be responsible for paying for..and if at the end of this degree, I decide I’m done w/ school for awhile, I’ll use the money to travel or move. I should be done w/ my degree by this time next year so I need to save as much as possible while I can. If I end up moving out in a couple months, it’ll be a lot harder to save.

Yeah, I only work part-time so it only goes so far. I haven’t made any purchases really lately..But I do NEED a new cell phone and I still want a digital camera..But then I’ll be done and set to save for awhile..I cannot purchase one more pair of pants because I think I’m up to about 30 or more pairs of jeans and 20 pairs of pants..No more tops, I have to have atleast 100 of those..Thats just too much stuff. I don’t need more stuff, it just makes it harder.

I’ve been doing really good with this one..I’ve been purchasing just presents for christmas for everyone. I will be going shopping on Wednesday, so we’ll see how that goes. I’m going to try really hard to be good..Although I do need some workout clothes!

It’ll be a week tomorrow that I haven’t spent any money on anything (besides things like groceries, gas, and other necessities). I get paid in a few days and plan on putting a little bit of it directly into savings so I can’t spend it at all..I’ve been doing that each payment period..The holidays are a tough time to save money..I still have to purchase everyones gifts..ah.

OK I Blew it..I spent a lot of money this week on stupid clothes and I went out to eat a bunch..My mini goal is to not spend any money on any materials except gifts until the new year..I have all I need so I should be fine.

I don’t know if this really counts but I did get one of those new american express one cards today so that atleast there will be some savings from my spending (even if it’s only 1%), better then nothing. I haven’t purchased anything in awhile still..But I am planning on getting that new ipod soon, argh.

I did pretty good this week..I didn’t go shopping or anything..But I am planning on purchasing an IPOD in a week or 2 and that’s going to be about $400..UHG.

I always thought I’d be more responsible with money at 19 but I’m not. I’m horrible at it.
