You found a job,now how do you save money Saving your hard-earned money can be difficult.As most of us enjoy spending rather than saving,I certainly had a tough time holding on to my money every payday. When I got my first few pay checks,right away I spend the cold hard cash I'd earned by hard work.But I quickly realized that this sort of spending wouldn't really help me get the things I wanted.So I made a pact with myself.I promise that before I did anything with the money,I would deposit at least 50%of the money into my savings account.That way,I eliminated the temptation to spend that money.After I got used to saving my money,it was much easier for me not to be tempted to buy things when I saw them.When I saw a CD,or video game that looked appealing,I learn to ask myself,"Do I really need this?"Asking this question helped me appreciate my money, and not let it slip out of my wallet quite so fast.
