If you receive a regular income have a percentage taken out weekly before you ever get your check and placed into a savings account. You can also start another job(assuming you have one now) and place all that extra income into a savings account as well. No regular income?? Try to find some part-time work to save with. You can try EBay. It's a great way to make extra money and usually the money doesn't come straight into your hands it goes into a Pay pal Account. I've made quite a bit just selling things around my home I no longer need or want. Give it a Try it's worth the effort if you really need the money. Good Luck!!

A really good way to save money is to put it away in mutual funds or even a CD (certificate of deposit). If you have sum of money now and some time this would be a very good option for you to begin saving for when you are ready to retire or if you don't need the money until long term.

If you're talking about saving money out of your weekly budget, one trick is to save all the coins you receive throughout the day. When you get home, put all the coins plus the smallest bill in your wallet in a jar. Every month deposit it in a separate savings account. It won't be a huge sum, but it'll add up after a few months.

I know this is going to come off as a wise-guy answer, but its not intended to. Its just plain basics: what ever you make, dont spend more that that. That includes credit cards. A loan of any sort (& yes a credit card, line of credit, car note, etc. are all loans) takes away from your income, not add to it.
So even though you have $2000 on credit, that means you have $2000 less income. Dont count the $25 payments as you owe less b/c you pay less. It goes directly against your income dollar for dollar (plus interest!)

Well, for starters: stop buying fast food and name brands. They soak up your hard earned money. Also try not to buy junk food, as it costs more and has more fat and calories than fruit. If possible, stop buying clothes and frivilous things for the next two months. And you could also go to your boss and explain that you believe that you have been working very hard lately and request a raise. You will be surprised at how fast this is all going to add up!

Buy US savings bonds. They earn about 4% interest and you can't spend them for a year.

avoid fast food, it eats up your money. don't dismiss change as pointless, every penny counts. watch out for good deals if you desperately need something.
