Buying a few cups of coffee everyday costs a lot more than you realise

Have your wages paid into a savings account and transfer a budgeted amount into the spending account. Keep your savings account debit card at home.

See this is the gospel a dude like me doesn't have any Certs so my lowly 55 a year after taxes needs to be saved.

Got me a job now and live by myself and i haven't really had to care about my own personal finace before because my mom took care of that shyt. but im grown now :sadcam:. I currently live very cheap I dont smoke and i hardly drink alochol. I eat out about 2-3 times a most a week and I bring my own food to work 2 times a week to save some money. I dont make much money but i know I can defiantly save some money if i budget it correctly. Anyone got any tips for a young nikka like me? anyone know a good excel template I can use to budget my money monthly

Put your foot down when any woman wants to move in.

And make an effort to save a certain amount of money every month.
I don't care how you spend your money but just make sure that amount is setup And also invest on condoms.

Mint.com, thank me later. Join your companies 401k soon as you can. Pay yourself first. Transfer money soon as each check drops to a separate savings account for emergencies like medical bills or car issues. Preferably an online bank. I use ally bank and they give higher interest than regular brick and mortar, and it takes a few days to transfer to your bank so you're less likely to spend on bullshyt during random spending sprees.

If you're not gonna stay single, invest in some sugar mamas and only pay them dikk. it's good for a few meals and, if you put it down right, rent when your in a bind. and with that, stay debt free.
