How I did it: I have had a savings account since age 12. Ever since then my goal was to reach $1,000. On May 11, 2009 I accomplished my goal.
This was hard! I used to love going on shopping sprees.
I can tell you this..
It took hard work (literally...a couple of odd jobs here and there) and a whole lotta sacrifice and discipline.
I hid my debit card for one month. That seemed to help abit. However, I knew where the card was.
I tried not buying anything for one month...the best thing EVER! When the 30 days was over a number things happened. For a while I still didn't trust myself with money. I didn't go into my favorite stores. Or Walmart (small things add up.) Or really any clothing store for that matter. After a great while this behavior became second nature. Secondly, buying anything become almost evil and sickening. As they say it takes 30-40 days to break a habit.
Lessons & tips: don't buy anything for a set period of time. If you know you're going to spend money during this time...throw away your card. You can order a new one from the bank (note: some banks charge a replacement fee for new cards.)

Yes! I got paid today and that brings my total to my goal of $1000. I have to pay my mom $100 still for a painting I bought my dad (but needed to borrow money from my mom.) And after that I’m going to be saving up once again! :D

I’ve basically completed this goal but not quite. SO close. I had $125 worth of change that I’m putting towards my college fund. So added on to my previous amount, my total stands at $977.17. That means only $22.83 cents to go! YES! :D

♥♥ Rissa Adell ♥♥ is glad its summer but missing school
just over half way there, but paying that retarded ticket will knock me back $175… grr… between that and the ever rising cost of GAS..
I work, though minimum wage and really unsteady hours (and few of the ones I do get) make it hard, of course I did just take two more shifts…. plus babysitting/pet sitting opportunities seem to be popping up everywhere so… I HOPE to accomplish this by the end of the summer, hope.

I didn’t know what I was really saving up for, but I’ve decided it will go to my MRC fund. Wooohooo!

$586.52 saved up! $413.48! I’m really not going to end up saving money if I keep going out to the club as much as I have been. I blame Melody and Darwell for that.
i actually want to save at least $3,000 but it seems like so much atm, so i am starting with a managable goal of one grand.
