Some good tips for saving money?

Question

i live in aus and am trying to save to go to las vegas

im 14 and get $10 a week for cleaning 3 toilets, sinks, mirrors, shutting all the drapes, setting table.

i want to go by the time im 17 because i finish yr 12 at 17 and then when im 18 im going to try and get into unlv on student visa, so im going to see if i like it as much as i think i do and i have wanted to go since i was 11 so dont try talking me out of it: |

this money is put into my bank account every week

but there is pretty much nothing in there

i am 4 months to young to get a job just yet i have already put in applications to get a job and they told me i was too young...

there is nobody around to babysit

and they already have someone to do papers

i live in a fairly small town and cant wait to get away: DDD

i have asked to do more jobs but my mum just includes it in the $10

i bite my nails so every 2 weeks i need to get infills

and shop every maybe 1-2 weeks

how can i save more money?

thanks

xxo

Answer 1

Don't spend it. Put it in our bank

Answer 2

dont spend as much. nah seriously, dont buy it unless its 100% essential

Answer 3

save

Answer 4

dont spend your money and use it wisley cause your gonna need to be good at knowing money if you want to go to vegas.

Answer 5

just set aside a set amount every time you get paid. if you really want to save, you'll be willing to either shop less or get your nails done less. for now (before you can get a real job) i'd put aside $3-5 a week, it doesn't seem like much, but you really dont make much.

Answer 6

If it is possible, set up a savings account so your money will gain interest in the bank. Also, try to cut down on shopping and get only the things you really *really* need.

Also - stop biting your nails! Put something on them that tastes nasty and you won't have to spend on your nails so much. (There are even special nail polishes that are for nail-biters.)

If you feel comfortable with it, you could also offer to help out with odd jobs in your neighborhood such as yard work or just helping someone move furniture. Also, don't give up on work - four months isn't a long time and if you are out of school in the summers it may be possible to work more than one job if you're really willing to.

Answer 7

get a tin can with a lid super glue it shut with alot of superglue and punch a hole in the top to slip dollars and coins but small enough to where you can't get anything out but big enough to get money in then open it when you are ready.

Answer 8

put it on a bank every time you earn a bucks. Don't buy anything..

Answer 9

Keep it in a tin, save a few dollars a week, or even half your wages.

Keep it for a year or so, you'll have quite a bit of cash ;) and then share it with me :D

Answer 10
