Have like no money in the bank what i'm I suppose to do this weekend?

[Anonymous]

i checked my balance this morning and said it was $40 but had an overdraft of $250 . i do have a part time job but don't get paid until next week

as to what happened to my money i went a bit crazy last weekend and spent $100 when out with friends , also had to spend $40 to fix the zipper on my jacket and paid $150 on a visa bill at start of month but its still not all paid off. i also have to spend money on food and other things

i also sell things online but its kind of a slow time of year for online sales so not really expecting to sell much this week and wouldn't get the money rate away anyways and have to pay for shipping. we don't even have a pawn shop here anymore , do have a lot of things i want to sell , everything from golf balls to fishing equipment but need to make ads and find buyers so not likely to have the money by the weekend

Well... Some bank apps you can sort of make several account, almost like a profile.
What I do when ever i get paid. I pay everything of bills i need to pay. Then remove what is my food budget to one of these accounts. Then i deceived up what's left into several accounts. One is called gifts and That's birthdays, weddings, Christmas and what have you. One is savings for what ever your saving for. One is emergency money for what ever unpredictable happening In my life that may or may not happen. And i got one called just for traveling. And the last one is called fun money.

Other ways i save money is i look through all my subscription, what do I need and what can I live without, and also what package of them is the bare minemum i can live with? Can I pay 1 year worth of subscription up front? Then i do that because you save money on the total.
Buy quality over quantity, quality often last a lot longer. So you can use it for longer, hens you save money, that means you don't need to keep buying the cheep on and it breaks and you need to buy new one. As an example i bought some leather shoes 16 years ago, just changed the laces a few times, used some leather balm and so on. If i bought low quality shoes of the same type i have then maybe had to buy new ones Evry second year or so and that means i would have spent more.

Learn how to fix things, that saves money.
Learn how to cook, have a large freezer. Take advantage of deals and 2 for 1. Some things are cheaper because it's In season.
Cut down on everything you don't need or use maybe a few times a year.
If your not going to use it a lot, don't buy it.
Thrift stores, use it for whats it worth.
Cheep stuff is sometimes the same as expensive stuff. Let's take rice as a good example, cheep rice is pretty much no difference to expensive rice.

Always stick to your budget.
Almost nothing needs to get bought when it's new, you can just as well enjoy it later when it's on sale. Like a new game cost what? 60$ when new? Wait 1 year and it's half the price often. New car? The second you drive out of the shop it's all ready lost lots of its value.
Workout, is it possible to do that at home some how? Then do that.

So so sooooo many ways to save money, and still have fun.

Catch up on some TV shows. Read a book. Go out for a walk or a run. Play a musical instrument if you have one. Rub one out. Pick up a new hobby. Sit and do nothing. It's only a weekend, it'll go in quickly.

but weather suppose to be really nice this weekend , patio's are expected to be packed at the bars and restaurants as its normally not this nice in April , seems like a tough one to sit around and do nothing

Let's see... 🤔

💡!

This weekend, you could look for a second job or a full time job.

[Asker]

i know its frustrating , one of my co workers is also off sick so you think boss would of gave me some extra hours this week but nothing at all. if i had a second job than you have to balance schedule with original job , not always easy unless second job is always at an entirely different time of day

[TrueConfection]

It's not as hard as it sounds.

when i started here was a lady who worked here part time and at mcdonalds full time , she's since left and only works at mcdonalds. i'm really not that interested in working at a fast food place

I've done tutoring for extra cash at times...

Any chance you could do some tutoring?

[Asker]

definitely no for tutoring , never done that before and not into that

[richardcory]

If the weather in your area is nice, go for a walk

[Asker]

will likely spend some time outdoors and such for sure , but i still need $ money for even basic food items like lunch and dinner , i might have some coupons but still

[Sparkie460]

Stay home on the weekend. Apply for a second or better job that pays more. At your age you should have a lot more money in your account.

[Asker]
