How to save up $1,000
It made me
Very Happy!
 "This experience has made me more responsible and I'm so glad I was able to do it!"
How I did it: I have been working for almost three years now, at the same job. I just recently graduated from high school and was faced with the real world. My goal was to save up $1,000 and not spend a single cent of it. I have reached my goal by not giving into buying certain things I normally would and now that I am graduated, I feel more responsible and have to save up for University so that's where the saving up a $1,000 comes in, to get used to the idea of saving my money. I was always an "impulse" buyer and would go to the store and want to buy "this" and "that", anything that caught my eye. So this was a really important goal for me, and I did it!!! Lessons & tips: - Don't give into things that are impulse buys Resources: My boyfriend, Family, my job. |

However, i started to save up money as the gym membership expired so that money was being saved automatically. I also didnt do any shopping as such and only spent on necessities.

It made me 
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 … Read how I did it…

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

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.
