Question

Is it possible to save good money if you get very little pay?

Answer 1

Sometimes... ... My husband and I put all the money we have and put it in the bank and pay all the bills, buy food, and any household items we need in the middle of the month, and leave the rest. If you have an account find out what day or part of the month interest is paid and keep everything in your account till then..

Answer 2

You have to start thinking S-M-A-R-T. What kind of cutbacks can you make? For example: I drink bottled water. Now at $1 a bottle on something that covers over 65% of our planet is not smart. So I bought one of those water filters that s***w into your faucet. I have bottles that I refil over and over again. I take them to work. Do you have a lot of small appliances around that house that are always on? I cut my electronic bill almost in half by unplugging all the clock radios and night lights. I also bought some of those florescent bulbs that look a lot like a regular bulb. These things use 80% less electricity than regular bulbs. You would be surprised, but these small things add up. I know I was spending money on the water filter and energy efficient bulbs but these things will pay for themselves in a month providing they pertain to you. If you really need the money right away start cutting back on your food costs. Romain noodles cost a dime and they taste just as good as campbells chicken noodle that costs $130 a can. Ok no chicken in romain noodles, but you are probably just missing about 4 tiny pieces of chicken. Put a brick inside your toilet 'chamber'. You will use a little lesser water each time you flush..Before you know it you will be ahead. Wanna be creative? Find yourself leaving lights on? Buy a motion sensor switch, the lights will turn on when you enter the room and will turn off (by a set amount of time) when you leave the room. I have one, they cost $15 at HomeDepot. Need new windshield wipers for your car? Who says you have to buy 2. You only need the new one on the drivers side, leave the old wiper on the passenger side.  So remember you have to start thinking S-M-A-R-T! Yours truly seahorsehawrey.

Answer 5

If you have very few expenses, sure, over time you can save a lot, if you have good self control.

Answer 6

At some point you have to lower your standard of living in order to save. How low you want to go is a personal matter. Look at some of the day laborers from Mexico. Several of them cram themselves like sardines into small housing arrangements to negate the cost of having a roof over their head. They basically make less than minimum wage but they save money. So, my answer to your question is yes but some people make so little money that they have to make some big sacrifices in order to save.
