Saving Money 101
I'm not quite sure about saving money. I've always been the kid with the 'money'. I don't live in US or canada. Nor europe. MY aunt, who gives me money, recently (today) had quarrel with my uncle and now...I mean I havea spending limit of $100 a week. If I spend $15 a day I'll save $25 a week and $100 a month...therefore I can buy a jeans or just save it!
Are there any techniques to saving money? BTW...I need to travel which is $5.00 a day. And buy at least 2 $3.00 bottles of water a day.

hey! hmm techniques to saving money... ok, how about opening a savings account at a bank! you won't be able to take money out for a certain time or you will be penalized by being charged a certain amount for doing it...that should make you think twice if you decide to take money out! or you can just put the money in a piggy bank that you can't open without breaking. when you want to buy something, ask yourself if you really need it... avoid impulse buys, because those are usually things that you really don't need. when you go to a store, have a list of what you need and don't get anything that's not on the list!
as far as traveling money, see if there is any way you can travel for cheaper. for example, if you take a bus or something, you might be able to get tickets for cheaper if you buy a couple at a time. i don't know how it works in your country, but i know here if i buy a ticket for public transportation it is 2.50 for one ticket, but if i buy a booklet of 10, each ticket comes out to only 2 dollars! so it adds up.
lastly, the water... same thing as before, buy in bulk! here if i buy one bottle of water, it is 1.50, but if i buy a pack of 20 bottles, they come out to 50 cents a bottle! it's crazy how much money you can save that way!
hope those helped! let me know if you need more help! :)
