This has been like my motto in my endeavour to be financially fit. I like the the idea of saving money for the rainy days. As for now, ‘saving’ remains to be just an idea.. not yet a reality. I would personally like to set aside a sum of money per month and save it for a certain project, may it be a child’s education or an upcoming trip. But with a lot of bills waiting to be paid, it seems now that the ‘savings’ are actually meant to pay up the monthly bills.

But I will continue to strive to ‘save’, maybe after paying all our bills, we can save up some money for something worthwhile.

How to save money then? That boils down to buying only the basic necessities in life. But we must not be too stingy to the point of robbing our families or kids from the simple joys and pleasures right? I have to be very wise in the money spent but at the same time set aside some money for the little pleasures like eating out, buying books for the little ones.

Earning extra money is also a great way to ‘save’.  Thank God that through my ‘blogging’ career, I could earn some extra income which can be used for our trips and bills. I’m also still looking for other venues where we could earn a bit of income, but haven’t found it yet. But as of now, I’m very contented with my blog earnings to be used for our future savings.

What about you? What do you do to save money and earn extra income?
