This is done!

I just need to seal the deal by opening an account and saving the money in there. I really cannot believe I did this, given the circumstances.

How to save 1000 dollars
It made me
Satisfied
 "Moving from debts to having savings is one of the most hopeful experiences of my life"
How I did it: I made a decision to always pay credit cards on time. No more fees! I lived with less and paid off more debt. Then when the debt was paid, it was easy to start saving because I was already getting by without using that money. Lessons & tips: Pay your debt, and pay into the principle, not just the interest. |

It made me
Amazed
How I did it: I got a job which was nicely paid...not hugely but not a pittence either, i had been used to living on about $300 a fortnight so it was a jump. I found a piece of land i wanted to buy and my mum agreed to helpw ith the deposit if i started to save. Every week from my job i put $150 towards stuff from the baby and then all the rest but $50 in the bank, i'm smart enough to know that if i have no money to spend i won't save but i… Read how I did it…

SO CLOSE!

All I need is a $104.42 and I’ve completed this goal. My bills are pretty high right now, but none are from credit cards so I’m hanging in there! Fuck you T-mobile and Cablevision. You can wait until my next paycheck, bastards!

I am so (surprisingly) close to this

It looks like it might be a reality—soon! I will open an ING savings account, perhaps even this week! Amazing.

$1000 from today

Right now my savings account has 747.74 in it, so when it reaches 1747.74, I can mark this complete. I want to do this for my 101 things in 1001 days list.
Saving $1000
5 months ago
I’m trying to save $1000 so I can buy myself a MacBook. I have an old makeup bag I’m keeping all my money in. By my birthday in October I’ll take any of the coins I’ve saved to a coinstar, and then start saving again. I get $40 every other week from my Dad. Hopefully by Christmas I can save $1000, or close to it.

One word: Spendthrift

Ayayay. Terrible. I will manage to save 500 dollars after this month, but I should have tracked my expenses far better. What can I say. There is nothing I can do to get that money back now.

Saw some really cute Nike shoes today

And I mean cute. Really cute.
But then I was like—is this what I want to spend my money on? And I know that what I need to do now is actually travel light, not spend money I don’t have, and become aware that I don’t need to work more to spend, but that I actually have everything I need. The universe is providing me with exactly what I need to live without stress. Spending money on unnecessaries for now will just add weight and make me unbalanced.
Besides, if I am going to invest in shoes, make them exercise-friendly shoes. That is what I most need.

I need to save
10 months ago
As I have only about 400 dollars in my power. Which means that, more than saving, I need to stop spending.
I opened a Wachovia Way2Save account today, although I just realized it might not be as super as advertised, as discussed here. Nonetheless, its forcing me to save. And for that, I am happy.
I am also being very conscientous (sp?) about what I spend, much more than I have ever been. So that in itself is progress.
More than hoarding money, I want to make a commitment to voluntary simplicity and conserving my life energy. That is the most important thing for me.

Slow start

to this goal. Haven’t really made any progress here yet but I really needed new tyres on the car so now I am back on track. I am going to start a Christmas Club account as it’s too easy to use the money for a bill if it’s at home and in my savings account it will just get swallowed up in bills and fees.
