Here are my money saving tips:
1. No cigarettes
2. No alcohol
3. No soda at restaurants, only drink water
4. Save all of your change, put it in a big jar.
5. Save $5 a day, put it also in a large container
6. Cut out eating meat or at least cut down.
7. Don't drive needlessly
8. Cars are a big drain on the wallet, if you don.t need one - get rid of it. You will save a ton of money(gas,Insurance.License, Taxes,oil changes, tires, batteries)
Cars are the #1 thing that you keep paying forever after it is paid off.
9. No movie theaters
10. Don't buy unnecessary items at the grocery store, only buy what you need.
Good Luck!

well, cut a major part on your paycheck and put them at your savings account. after all major bills are paid, you save as much $ as possible , let's just say for groceries. use the sale/discount coupons that usually come up in the mail. like money mailer or something, some major grocery stores usually also send you coupons in the mail. try not to dine out as much as possible. if you smoke/drink and have regular spending budget for them, minimize that budget (also helps you to quit!) if you usually rent DVDs from blockbuster or wherever, stop, and start watching free movies online or download limewire.
try not to spend too much time talking on your cellphone. minimize your gas money by not taking unneccessary trips. try not to buy clothes unless you really need it, make use of what you currently have.
try not to use your credit cards! use cash inasmuch as possible. and ALWAYS write down all your spendings, so you can decide whether you're doin good, or you're spending too much on something.
you should be able to save money that way, and i hope my tips can help you. the major philosophy for saving for me is to make use of what you already have. and happiness will come after you learn to feel contented with the way you live your life. saving money is an exciting process!

Your best bet is to put as much money away for it as possible. Cut out things you don't need like snacks from a vending machine, or a coffee from Starbuck's. Have a garage sale and put the money away. Don't drive needlessly and you won't have to spend more money on gas. Plus, if you are planning a trip do a lot of research to find the best ticket price for airlines, etc.

Don't eat out or go out to bars & clubs. Carpool to work. Use your spare time to clean out your closet & house from all the clutter. Have a yard sale! Best day is Saturday. Post a bulletin on mailbox & make signs to bring people in from main roads. If you wanna go all out u can do an add in the paper but it'll cost u.

Write down what you spend money on for a week. You will save so much money by reviewing that list. It works great to write it down...

Put it in a high interest account.
