start saving money

I had a little set back last week and had to transfer funds from savings to checking. I will try to replenish it this month and get caught up again.

How Should I start this? I should put 50 dollars away every month.
If I have spare change, That can be added in there as well! First I need to make a budget.

Yep, another $25.

$150.02 and I didn’t even miss it.

I am worse off now than I was a year ago. that’s because I was in a foreign country (New Zealand) working whilst travelling and renting. And then I came back home with an unfavourable exchange rate which reduced my money even more.
And now I have to find a job all over agiain.
However Ihave opened a special saving account with a slightly higher interest rate to put my money into – should I ever make any.

Another $25. Last week was only $100.02. I made a mistake, but it’s still growing.

I gained another $ .01 in interest.

yeah we scales arent exactly budget tight….i love to shop and party…i need suggestions.

Payday again and another $25 into savings. It’s only $75.01 now, but at least it’s a start.

i need to start to take care of myself. I have been doing it to others for the longest time and now i am putting myself on top of the list. I am trying to save the gas money my boss pays me every month and cut back on other expenses as much as i can.
I guess i also need to understand my limitations. What i can save today is not much, but instead of beating myself up over it and thinking that it is too late to do it, i should be thinking that is all i can do for now and be OK with not being able to do more…I need to respect my limitations and give myself credit to all i do.
