Saving money while in high school is a rather challenging task as there are many fun and enjoyable things that money can be spent on. However, as we grow into adults and move on to life after high school, knowing how to save money and budget are important skills for each one of us to hold. One of the easiest ways to save money that involves little effort is to open up a savings account and keep that account separate from an account for spending money. In order to do this, you must know how to budget to ensure spending money (for necessities and emergencies) is maintained within your checking account. One way to do this is by determining how much money is required each week for things such as food and gas, then depositing the rest into a savings account. Saving money can also be done through spending less by keeping track of purchases to determine if something is really needed, using your student’s ID to get discounts, and spending smartly by only making necessary purchases. Joining and participating in extracurricular activities or having low-cost hobbies can aid in saving money. Being committed to other things takes away opportunities to spend unnecessary money. Generating and obtaining more money through working over the summer, 2 jobs, or working more hours, is crucial to saving money at a quicker rate. Overall, setting a goal and sticking to it is key to saving money. If you follow these tips and tricks, money should be pilling up quickly!
