Last night my friend told me, she had do a tight budget just to make sure she will save some saving for her future. Things are getting more expensive, eventhough the oil prices had gone down. I do agreed with her, as myself also do some budget on my daily expenses, to make sure l don't overspend every month. How do you do saving during this economy crisis?

unfortunatly we don't have money to "save" as we were just getting by before the economic crisis hit. Our main goal right now is to keep the bills paid and keep things current. Saving is not in my vocabulary right now, skimping to keep things paid and food on the table is our goal for the time being.

My fiance and I don't have a job so we earn money through the internet. My biggest payer is mylot because I feel that's what I am the best at between the options. Now we have to make the money to mostly spend it, but after we get done with our spending we are going to try to save a good chunk of the money. We don't get much but every little bit helps, and we're hoping that we can save even more then before.

Hello myfb. I try not to use money on unnecessary stuff if I don't have to get it, especially one that will not be frequently used. Also I seldom dine out as often as I used to as it is much more expensive to dine out in a restaurant. It is much cheaper to cook at home. Good luck to you, friend.

the various wrong policies by various government heads, central bank governers and wrong analysis of economic situations around the globe etc are making our general life worse. so its the right time to save as much as u can for the future months. i hv cut down my all luxury expenditures as its not so necessary at all and its time to act

Yes we have tightened our budget for now. since we do not know what is going to happen, and i think that it is going to get a whole lot worst than it is now. So we have cut out a lot of the extras..which is just adding to the problem, because we are not spending as much it is not helping the economy any,

Friend, it's not easy to convince people to stop shopping as some people really loves shopping alot, just like a habit to them. But, in the end only realised that things they buy not really things that they need. It's really a waste. My friend also got this type of habit. Just hope that one day they will realise their mistake..
