--------------------

"Well once did i put away over 30$ in a drawer.. And about a week later did i forgett about them.. And found them some time after.. .. U can guess where they are now...."

well uhm... I get my paychecks in my chequing account, so on pay day I leave ennough for my week's ration of food and put the rest in my savings to pay my rent at the end of the month. The extra I have when I've payed those 2 I put it in a 3rd account I like to call my fun fund, or if you prefer beer funding or whatever else the heart desires.

You can't hold cash huh? I wouldn't want to see you with my 4 credit cards and line of credit, lol. And believe it or not, I don't owe for that 50 dollars combined on all of them, aha!

It is very hard to save money, because there are too many nice things, but i try to stay focused on what i want in the future, and i know that if i dont then i wont have the nice things i want later on in life!!

I mean my girlfreind and i booked a holiday 9 months ago to Florida we live in England, we are now 2 weeks away, and we have saved all our food money, ticket money, and spending money, so now i know we can have a really good time out there!!

So just try and stay focused dude, you almost have to make yourself learn i think, get your mind into a certain way of thinking!!
And just take it slow at first, try saving alittle bit, then try saving more the next month!

try to go by the rule of 10%...
10% of what you make concider that you dont get that money... put it in another savings account and dont touch it... it ads up quickly...
Or do what I did leave your expensive girl friend and expensive apartment and move to a cheap room, then you can save 90% and only spend 10%
and girls are the most expensive thing.. and there value only goes down... way down and you cant even trade then in on a newer model (yeah im a little bitter ha)

ways to save moner for me = 1:get rid of your gf - that increased my money by ALOT.
2:dont buy a laptop you dont need, and put your credit card at max. then the bank charge you every week for being over till its another grand you owe.
3:dont buy that stupid thing that looks so shiny, make your mind think about somethign else. or make sure you lock yourself away cuase you will buy it!
ways not to save money = not let your ex keep the new computer gc and presents.

I KNEW IT, you do have a laptop, and do all your work when you are out and about!!
CG get yourself an intrest free card, i have dont this i got an Egg card, applyed online. I had to buy a new computer last year, and wanted something special, so i got an Alienware PC, as much as i hate seeing my credit card amount, i needed it, and to me you just have to be clever with credit cards!!(that is if you are talking about yourself )

I have a Girlfreind, we have been together for years, i met her at school, and she never puts any pressure on me, you have to find a good one! lol

But i will say remember to enjoy yourself, as you can't take it with you when you go!!
