5 Ways You Can Save Money
It can be hard to earn money. Once you earn it, you tend to want to spend it! Spending a little bit of money here and there could cause you to miss out on a big purchase, like a brand new bike. Start saving spare change, and you will have the money to buy something great. Here are some helpful hints to help you save extra money this summer!
Set goals for yourself. If you really want that new bike set a goal to save a dollar or two a week and watch as your money adds up fast!
Make a savings chart. Start tracking what you are spending money on. If you can go without buying that pack of gum at the store, do it! See what you spend your money on and turn it into savings.
Turn a jar or envelope into a piggy bank. Don't have a piggy bank? That's okay! Find a spare jar or envelop and watch your savings grow.
Have a vision for the money you are saving. Save your money to buy something you really want, give it to a charity, or buy your brother or sister a gift! Whatever you choose, save your money with an end goal in mind!
Don't touch the money you are saving. Once you decide you're going to save, put it away. Once you put it away you will not be tempted to spend it!
Once you start saving, make it last! Every penny counts. Find activities that are free. Go to the park or hang outside with friends! Spend your money wisely and only on things you really want or need.
