Save Money - Round Up Your Dollars!

It sounds stupid and childish, but sometimes the most simpliest and easiest and most accomodating way to save money is a penny at a time. Okay, maybe a nickel, dime or dollar at a time, but the point is if you want or need something in upper dollar amounts, and then think "I have to save THAT MUCH!  I'll never do that!" so you tend to not bother. HOWEVER, it you use common sense and my motto " save a little to save alot", you'll have what you need or want (within common sense reasoning, of course) before you know it, and not even missed it while you are saving it.

It's always easy for those with money, giving out budgeting and saving advise, to say " when you get your paycheck, pay your self 10% FIRST - then pay your bills" Yeah, that's great if you have enough income where that is an option, but what about those of us that don't have the high paying jobs and we are just trying to make ends meet? That 10% is fine and dandy but what do you do when that 10% means "do I pay the electric bill or myself first?"

The key is to find ways to save, by stretching the dollars you already have! Pick up the pennies from the sidewalk, yeah, okay, but let's do a bit more than that.

When you pay a bill, the key is to ROUND UP TO THE NEXT DOLLAR. That is a savings you can afford, and won't miss, but you will be surprised at the outcome.
