I put all loose change/found money or some bills into my "AG jar"

If its not on me-I don't have a problem spending it. About 3 times a year, I empty out the jar (it typically is between 100-200) and use it for something I want that haven't been able to get.

Why don't you try an envelope system, when you earn money first you should pay yourself. Then pay bills, then make a donation of time or money or items.
You'll be surprised if the money is in hiding you won't spend it. Especially if you write Nicki on the envelope.
Good luck!

Cut out a picture or print out a picture (in this case, of Nicki) and attach it to your piggy bank, so every time you go to take out money to buy something else, you're reminded of what you REALLY want to spend your money on!
Good luck!

I put mine in a savings acount that is not easy to access. I also use a safety deposit box at my bank. I am sorry if I put you over the edge with those #28 pictures****Slaps her own hands**** [img]redface.gif[/img]

I just wanted to point out that Nichole JJ and Nicole J are two separate people!! Its me - Nicole J - that requested pics. of #28. I am not sure what Nichole JJ is pining after besides Nicki.
And no, we are not trying to drive people crazy!! [img]smile.gif[/img] I was so surprised in the summer to see Nichole JJ posting! [img]eek.gif[/img]

Here is my tip for saving: Don't post on HB [img]redface.gif[/img]

Put the money into a piggy bank- the kind where the money goes in very easy, but in order to get it out, you'd have to break the whole piggy bank.

My stepson did that. He just cashed it in last week and it was around $650. He's 6!

When I was saving up for Piper, I also had an envelope. I decorated it and hid it in a drawer, and put half of all the money I got in there. That way, I could still spend some, but I was saving at the same time. Now that I have a job, most of my money goes in the bank.

Print up a picture of the Nicki cover and stick it near wherever you keep your money or set it as your computer wallpaper to remind you of what you're saving for?

We never spend change.We use bills only and at the end of the day we take all the change and put it in a bank.You would be suprised how fast it adds up.

The best way to save up for something?

Don't buy anything else.

write down everything that you purchase for a week. Go over the list to see what could have been purchased cheaper elsewhere and what you did not need. A six pack of soda is a lot cheaper in a supermarket than it is when each can is purchased individually at a convenience store.
