in past, when i was working, i limit my expenses to nt more than $10 a day.. den when im studying, whenever my mother gives me pocket money, daily, i will keep a portion in a box.. for example, she gives me 8 bucks, i will bring 6 bucks to sch.. den i'll have no way in spending the other 2 dollars =) eat less outside also.. try to eat abit more at home, so you wont have to eat out..

Saving is not equal to Income - Expense.

I always put aside my saving the first day i get my pay.
That way, then I will save up money..if Income - Expense always turn up zero or negative ~~hehe

For me, I try to reduce my electricity bills by switching off all the power (except the fridge ,of course) of the electrical appliances after use. I also try to cut down on the use of the microwave by reheating food on the stove.:biggrin4:

I try to spend using ATM or credit card (but paid in full when bill comes). Then use my account balance to maintain I don't over-spend and have a target savings level. I glance at it a few times a month to check if I am in danger of splurging. I can also identify stupid purchases or bad habits. But I believe in "rewarding" oneself once in a while.

Hey that is a good one. I should give it a try even if I dun gaigai often. For tired equal go to bed early equal less time with computers which in turn equal less electricity used.

Post Re: How to you save or cut cost?

Some suggestions:

1. Don't go out on weekends. If need to go out, bring only $10 and don't bring your ATM and credit card.

2. Don't buy drinks when u have you lunch. Drink plain water instead.

3. For guys, can cut botak when u go for haircut. Save on shampoo and don't need to go for haircut often.

I don't follow the above suggestions though. :biggrin4:

Hmm .. i think saving and cuttinng cost
doesnt mean you have to cut urself off from the things
you like or enjoy doing .
Maybe for girls just dont shop too often ,
dont do manicures and slurge as much ???
and guys dont drink or hang out too much too ??
if we cut down , we still can save

Cut cost? Every time you buy something, think twice again before buying. This will somehow limit you in buying.:biggrin4: OR instead of cut cost, why don't think of improve your financial status instead? Many used to say 'Don't worry but Be Happy' How?
