Then every like, month or so, go and put that money in the bank. [ xo_dream's advice column | Ask xo_dream A Question ]

Cath answered Sunday October 24 2004, 5:22 pm: Hi Sweetie,
I'm not an expert on saving money. I actually currently have $35 I made. You can get a job and start a bank account. But a percent of your money there and spend the rest. Just don't touch your bank money.
Last month I had no money. ...I was in debt. And I'm urrently unemployed... sort of. What I do is I invest. I bought 12 cool belts and since I have connections with a store my stuff (which I buy in wholesalery) get sold and I get my money back and start making profet and investing on OTHER things.
You can try that but if you can't... just tink harder next time you're shopping. Do I really need this? Don't I have this already? Can't I just get this borrowed from a friend? And you may want to have a yard sale and sell your old useless stuff.
Just a thought. I wish I was of help. Good luck! ~Blessed Be... [ Cath's advice column | Ask Cath A Question ]
xo_Ali answered Sunday October 24 2004, 4:43 pm: Before you even go shopping put some of your money away, so that will be the money you CANNOT touch until your trips. When you go shopping look for sales. And decide if you really need what your pending on buying. After you go shopping you can even then put more money away. good luck!

At some banks they have where you can lock up your money for like a month or so and then you can start taking it out. But I don't think that is at all banks. Try consulting with a bank

AngelofMusic answered Sunday October 24 2004, 3:24 am: ok, I'm a little jewish girl so I'm really cautious with how I spend my moeny so listen up. when I used to go shopping I would go crazy and but tons of stuff. alot of it I would wear like once and then I had an entire drawr of all these abericrombie shirts that I never wanted to wear any more...... anyway point of the story. Before you buy something ask yourself if you REALLY need it. Also, what I do is if theres a lot of the thing I want it stock, I'll leave it and keep going through the mall and if I'm still thinking about it i'll go back and buy it. Just doing that will save you ALOT of money, I think lol. [ AngelofMusic's advice column | Ask AngelofMusic A Question ]
TucanFullOfHoles answered Saturday October 23 2004, 10:34 pm: non checking bank acconts (aka, savings accounts) are absolutely the way to go. put most of your money in there, and you'll actually make a small (like cents) amount of money off of it.
once intrest rates go up, and you have over 2,000 dollars, you can put your money in a cd, and it will earn even more interest. the problem with cds are that you can't touch it, meaning you can't donate or withdraw any money for a set amount of time (the longer the higher the interest rate).
