I’m 17 and I’m finishing High School in 30 days time. After that, I plan on working part time and going to Uni. Thing is, I’m terrible at saving!!! I work casually at the moment, and tend to spend my pay each week all in one go! I don’t put any aside, and if I need something, I have to ednure being broke until my next pay. I wouldn’t say I buy overally expensive things, but I tend to buy lots of little things (lunches with friends, pieces of jewelery, bus tickets, etc), and before I know it, all my money is GONE!!! How can I learn to “save” properly, while still enjoying little luxuries and buying things I like? THANKS!
