Money is tight. The moment you get it, it seems to slide through your fingers like so much sand. There is never enough to go around. Bills seem to hound you, demanding a big chunk of your hard earned pay check. Friends ask casually to borrow a few bucks promising to pay it back, yet you know they never will. It is as if you are being bled dry on the financially front and you have no idea why a six hundred dollar check ends up being only twenty bucks in the span of three days. What you need is a grip on money and a tree that magically grows cash!

While the latter may never happen, the former is definately attainable. Money is quickly spent and not so quickly replenished. So what happens when your car unexpectedly needs some repair, or you have to pay for some random home improvements? With no money their is no way to fix unfortunate problems. The solution is setting aside money each pay check into a savings account. Even just fifty dollars out of the stub can get you enough cash by five months to deal with the little upsets that life tends to throw. It’s as critical as it is simple. Instead of loaning out money to bumming friends, give that fifty dollars to yourself in case of emergencies. Soon enough you’ll find that saving is just as much fun as splurging and paying bills.
