How would I go about saving money?
I feel like I have gotten everything materialistic that I want. I want to start saving money, but I have a bank account. I wanted to start grabbing my money and put it inside a small jar. One for my girlfriends surgery in 6 months, the other in a charity jar for a church that lives close by. Are there any tips on this?
Nah it aint my girlfriends boobs lol
I have lots of little secrets to save money. The most important thing is to document all of your spending. This way you can see where your money is going and what percentages you spend in certain categories such as: FOOD, TRANSPORTATION, ENTERTAINMENT, SOCIAL, ETC. Break your spending down and see EXACTLY where your money is going. Take control of your money, don’t let it control you!
Here’s a few easy tips anyone can do:
1. Carpool
2. Buy clothes and other items at thrift stores
3. Use Coupons
4. Pack your lunch for work/school
5. Stop dining out so much
6. Drink water
7. Instead of gym memberships, look up exercises on YouTube
8. Do-it-yourself home repairs. (Don’t know how? Google it.)
9. Use the internet for entertainment
10. READ READ READ. I would suggest reading material that has something to do with personal finance or budgeting. You can never learn enough and there are countless tips available. For instance, this forum is a wonderful place to start.
😀 I would recommend a book called [b][i]Money Saving Tips: A Poor Man’s Guide to Prosperity[/i][/b]. You can get it on Amazon. It is VERY USEFUL and easy to read. I inserted the link below.

I would also note that just Googling "money saving tips" will help you tremendously. Just use the internet at your disposal. Be creative! There are TONS of ideas and useful ways to save money. You just have to proactively seek these things and you will find them. Of course, it will take a little discipline, but it is well worth it!
I wish you all the best of luck! May your lives be wealthy, healthy, and satisfied!
I love a good deal, and when I can get something on sale, use a coupon, scan a QR code for a discount, or use points towards my purchase

You’re better to put your money under the mattress.. you’ll have to claim the interest (.025%) to the feds. A "Small Jar" won’t hold enough for any ‘surgery’.
Especially 6 months out??? Is this Booby job? Is she contributing? If not, I’d wonder. Put a lot of your money into the Church Jug rather than in the Girlfriend’s Jugs.
