One other thing I will say is a good way to save: Have some side income.  No matter how small, it helps.  One example is sig campaigns on this site!! You can easily make 5-10/week+, that adds up! That could pay for one entire bill.  There are many other ways to make some side money, (flip stuff from yard sales on ebay, yard work, etc) but multiple income streams is key!

Great job, and great way to cover your unexpected expenses, but can i ask you? how much you can save every time you get your salary? or what is the percentage value of your savings from your salary?

From my regular job? I think that's only about 10% maximum - but that really depends on the months. Some months are more expensive than others. At some months, I don't have any possibilities to save a lot of my regular job income - but I can still create some extra's by working for my part time job. If I do not need these extra's then to cover the costs, I can actually save some money.

Yeah and the expenses are uncertain. There would be a month where you get an unwanted expenses like medical or a car damage. This expenses are uncertain and you are not prepared for that but you have to spend your money which would affect your savings.
I think this expenses are covered with your miscellaneous, and this miscellaneous will you pay by your saving so that this would not affect because its a part of your saving. Extra Cash.

My post intention is to help readers to save their money.

Some of the employee are not saving their money. They spend it on things that they dont need. For example gadgets,buying a concert ticket, accesories, etc.Buying things that not they need is also like a wasting money. Because this thing give a happiness  not a good life. Saving money is just like securing your future because your savings can help you in emergencies. These are the way to save money .
If you are empolyee. You must save atleast 20% of your salary. The 20% of your salary divides into two .


The 1st way : cash reserves- medical insurance, retirement, life insurance  and if you not have salary yet. And emergency. But dont spend all of you 10% in this emergency. You must know if the injury is serious o not before you spend the 10%.
The cash reserves must equal of your 6 months salary this will help you and ensure you becauas of you loss your job you have extra money .

The 2nd way : investment, business- you can invest in some company so that you have a extra income. And you can also built a small business that will always have an income like apartment.

Example. My wage is $ 7.5 per hour and i work for 8 hours and i work for 20 days. So thar my salary is $1,160 . The 20% of $1,160 is $232 .
So that my cash reserves is $ 116 i can spend this money in emergencies and medical insurance.
If my 6 month salary is $6,960 i can stop my saving money in cash reserves.
 

Thank you .

Assess clothing in terms of quality as well as price. An inexpensive shirt or coat is a poor bargain if it wears out in less than a year. Consider fabric, stitching, washability, and other quality related factors in your selection of clothes.

I rather go with the 2nd way.

By the way, your cash flow is your ability of hacking it or not. And when I mean hack, I mean forms of anything can form you a profit that beats a 1 hr wage workers pay.
You can say that you have a job that have a high wage? i think its hard to find a job that the have a high paying method is wage. More on the most paying method is the salary.

Salary is the correct word. And in recent times I have seen many professional who are well qualified but are not getting salary as per their expectations and It makes me worried that what would be the scenario in next few years So savings have become so difficult for a person who have only single source of income.

Just to add to this, i fully agree that buying clothes or shoes should deserve more attention than most people give it, although high price in general doesn't even remotely guarantee quality.
Cutting expenses is the most effective way to save money in the short run, but i generally prefer investing to cut or reduce the cost (like that water well i was talking about earlier in thread.
In the end, you do want to save money, but also not to look like a bum.

If you ever check out the digital goods section, you usually see like 2-3 threads on netflix accounts, which are also trying to be given in the gambling section.

Not hard to pretty much to get a free online version like hulu plus, but netflix is very limited on shows.

That is what I was talking about indeed. There are also a few topics in which you can buy Netflix accounts really cheap.

Sure, Netflix does not offer all movies and all series, but I don't think there is a need for that. The hours I've spent with Netflix were great. Eventhough their amount of series and movies is limited, they've got quite some good movies and series available for all the users. I don't have anything to complain about Netflix (it also works great; click a movie / serie and it will start in great quality and with subtitles). It works better than illegal alternatives (and besides that, it is legal).

Isn't it possible to share Netflix account with other people also ?

It is, although I'm not sure whether this applies for each kind of membership (there are multiple). I share the most expensive on with 4 friends; you can actually watch movies/series with 4 persons at the same time (so only 1 person cannot watch movies/series at the very same time as the rest does). And this only cost me like €2,xx per month.

Besides that, here on Bitcointalk véry cheap Netflix accounts are offered. Some of them might not be legally obtained though.. I decided to simply pay the €2,xx per month.


I just assumed that everyone is already doing whatever they can to earn more...

Well, not really. When I'm really in the need of money I do. I try to find other extra ways to make money (read: legally, and just "normal" ways to make money..) I will do work that is even far below my educational level. I've had a period in which I lost a part time job, and I had to work at a farm to cover all my costs. I made many hours (for a wage that was even less than half I was used to) but I liked it though Wink. It also made me loose some weight hehe.

Nowadays, I try to find an optimal balance between work and spare-time. I've got an extra job in which I can determine whether I want to work or not, when, and how many hours I will make. Works great Wink

I am not agree with your opinion.

The very best method to saving money is to create a Spending Plan or a Budget (learn how to make a budget). With a budget you figure out what your income is and what your expenses are. Once you know these two things, you can look for ways to reduce your expenses or increase your income to allocate an amount of money that you can afford to save. This is how the world’s largest corporations do it and this is how most of the world’s successful business people do it. This method takes a little bit of work at the beginning and a check-up every year or two, but it works.

The secret to this method (if you want to call it that) is to identify what you are spending money on so that you can begin to plan your spending. Once you begin to plan your spending, you will gain control over it and you will be able to plan to spend money on your savings. In other words, you will plan to put money into your savings account. Many people don’t like to plan their spending because it involves a little bit of work (once a year). No one is saying that success will come easily, but this little bit of work will pay off big time in many areas of your finances. We dare you to try it - what have you got to lose?

Assess your communications costs. As Internet and wireless use grows, many consumers are overpaying for unneeded communications capacity. For example, if you have a cell phone and two phone lines -- one for your computer -- consider receiving personal calls on your cell phone so you can give up one of the phone lines.

Most people don’t track what they spend and may not realize when expenses add up to more than their budget can handle. To keep track of what you spend, put what you think you should spend for the month on transportation, food, entertainment, etc., into envelopes. This will help you avoid buying things you don’t need, and what’s left over can go into saving.

Never purchase expensive items on impulse. Think over each expensive purchase for at least 24 hours. Acting on this principle will mean you have far fewer regrets about impulse purchases, and far more money for emergency savings.

Use debit and credit cards prudently. To minimize interest charges, try to limit credit card purchases to those you can pay off in full at the end of the month. If you use a debit card, don't rely on an overdraft feature to spend money you don't have. With either approach, you'll have more money available for emergency savings.

If you pay yourself first, then money will get saved because paying yourself is now your first priority. The nice thing about this method is if your budget is a little tight, it forces you to make adjustments elsewhere and your savings continue to grow.

Paying yourself first also makes sense. Why are you going to work everyday anyway? To earn money for someone else? No way. You go to work to earn money for you and your family. That’s why you should pay yourself first—to make sure that your first priority is taken care of: you. It is not likely that anyone else is going to take care of you because they assume that you are taking care of yourself.

Great analysis and suggestions. This truly defines a proper way of managing your hard-earned money. It doesn't matter if a person is earning low or high until it is being properly managed. Well thought out plan.
Thanks. but some people can't still understand my point, they have so many question that they can only answer it by them selves. By experienced it or they would realize.

Doesn't matter Smiley as long as your work is of help to atleast few people, it is fine. It would have been a problem, if none of them got it  Cheesy

Plnt trees, buy lands, invest in something that will give small but sure gain. Don't need to take it high in the skyscraper. I am an optimist so I like to gamble big, but saving sensible or investing sensible is the right way to go.

A suitable game plan would be to restrict oneself from buying luxurious things while he works his job. Slowly, build his way and advance doing his job. Keep saving money on the down low and once reaching an optimum point, invest it in real estate or a better investing option suitable at that time. Buy, sell, repeat. Enjoy luxuries later when you can afford them later. Work hard, party harder.

Great job, and great way to cover your unexpected expenses, but can i ask you? how much you can save every time you get your salary? or what is the percentage value of your savings from your salary?

From my regular job? I think that's only about 10% maximum - but that really depends on the months. Some months are more expensive than others. At some months, I don't have any possibilities to save a lot of my regular job income - but I can still create some extra's by working for my part time job. If I do not need these extra's then to cover the costs, I can actually save some money.

You save money by earning more.
Thats opposite then most views, but heres why. Theres a certain extent you can only save so much, clip coupons, order from the dollar menu, living a horrible frugal life style.
When you could be increasing cashflow by being creative.. and still be frugal.

I just assumed that everyone is already doing whatever they can to earn more, so it didn't make much sense to talk about it.
And when it comes to savings, i always prefer methods that doesn't compromise lifestyle too much, but still offer certain amount of savings to be made.

cheers

And I also believe that you can go for some extra job like part time which would add value to your wallet financially and basic day to day expenses can be taken care of by your extra earnings which would make your salary safe and could be useful at the time of emergencies or in the future.

With my regular job, I try to cover all my overall costs. Including rent, food, drinks, my car, utility etc etc. Doing extra work at my part time job gives me some more freedom (as I nearly needs my whole salary to cover these costs). But yes, this extra income is often used to pay unexpected costs (like repairments for my car) or otherwise I often save this money. But I mostly do more part time job when I am really in the need of the money  (thus to cover (unexpected) costs).
Great job, and great way to cover your unexpected expenses, but can i ask you? how much you can save every time you get your salary? or what is the percentage value of your savings from your salary?
