it is important to have some amount of money to be used in case of emergency that is why it is important to save money. upon receiving your salary or whatever form of income, do you set aside a certain amount for your savings?

Hello rosey19 :) To be honest, I don't save and I don't think I can. In my whole student years when I was still being given a daily allowance, the only thing I bought from saving money was a mp4 player, unlike my younger brother who is very thrifty and can pay school expenses himself only through his allowances. Most of the time I spend my money on foods that's why it's quite hard for me to save money hehe. In my mylot earnings my first payout went to donations and the last I got was spent to playing online Facebook game in Sorority Life just to get my desired hairdo which costs $4. I regret spending my $4 just for that Brownie Points and I would never do it again. I would love to save money this time. I have to be responsible now because now that I'm graduating, I have to be more mature especially in handling money. My goal is to have a first car so I really have to get away with those addictions and start saving money from now on.

I try to save something but it never works. I always have to get something extra for the baby and thats what always drains my pocket. Also my rent is alot so in the end I dont have any money left which really sucks because if something would happen, like if I needed money for something I would either have to go without it or I would have to ask someone for money but thats one thing I hate doing.
