I am mathematically challenged and want to save money to buy a car and for a down payment on a house. Budgetting is hard, but I can compute easy solutions.

every check, put a certain amount of money in savings, and do not touch that money. decide that whatever is left in checking, that is all you will use, and if it runs out, tough ****...control yourself.

Yo Jackie
Everyone knows about the big things that will save you money
like----hold off on major purchases or scale back on luxury items and un-needed thngs---But-- a person would be literally amazed at how much you can save when it comes to a lot of the little things that chip away at the budget on a very regular basis
Buy nonperishable items that you use regularly and consistantly in bulk---maybe not by the truckload or in the quantities that requires storage problems--but in the amounts where you get the major price break (such things as paper towels and toilet tissue are prime examples here)
One can also buy some food items in much larger portions if you are VERY loyal to using the items before they ruin----a good way to utilize this big saver---is to buy certain items in larger quantities and go ahead and make up meals using these and freeze them to be brought to the table in fairly short time frame-- this not only saves with the cost of the individual portions but it also saves in preperation time and energy and the savings can be counted with every meal you do from this project---main thing to remember here though-- use the things you've made-- if you do not use them--you have just defeated your purpose altogether
This is just a couple of things (but what do you want for 10 points ??) Hope it helps and good luck to you on your quest to move on up in the world !!!

Each year open up an Christmas account, be-
cause the money put into this account can not
be touched until Christmas because of a high
penalty that will have to be paid, put the money
in monthly and every december open a new
accnt then u will see the money start to pile up.
Key thing DO NOT SPEND IT AND EVERY
MONTH PUT INTO IT.
