At age 15, you should open a Bank Account. Get with it.
Get a Savings Account that pays interest. |

instead of you keeping the money ask you parents to give you say 5pounds less allowance a day. in no time you would have saved up enough. |

You must open a bank account and have a parent as counter signature so you cannot withdraw without their permission. |

Is they anything you can really spend £17 on at 15 which might be useful, ask whetehr you really need anything or is it just more clutter that you may regret and want to get rid of after awhile. |

dude, teach yourself how to save properly, all the pocket money you get from now on allocate a percentage that you will spend and a percentage you will save,
say you get £10 you may want to spend £6 and save £4. or spend £7 and save £3.
you are a lot more likely to suceed in getting to your saving goal £100 this way. it will obviously take longer but hopefully when you allow yourself your spend allowance this will hold off the temptation to raid the lot. also open up a savings account and deposit the money there, then it teaches you financial responsibility and independance. it is also harder to get when its in the bank.
hope that helps, paulie m |

Just keep saving it, if you spend it you'll be back to square one and you'll never get the amount you want. It's a good self test really.
If you can do it now then you more than likely wont be one of these adults who blow every penny they get and then run to the loan companies for that new sofa |

Hello,
(ANS) Understanding the reality of dealing with money in this country is extremely important, I know that sounds totally obvious but rarely does anyone sit down with young people and explain the pro's and con's of using different forms of finance.
You have to decide not only how much you want to save, may be you have a goal to achieve or something you want to buy in the future.
SAVING,
Saving first and foremost requires self discipline, its best to put your money in a place where you can keep it safe but DON'T have very easy open access to it. Why? otherwise you will probably spend it too quickly and then have regrets later on. Putting money into a normal high interest savings account is what I recommend to you, an account that can be opened for you by someone else because I think you have to be 18 yrs old before you can open such an account in your own name.
**Once you have a savings or deposit account, try to get into the habit of making regular payments into the account so your funds grow towards the amount your trying to reach. Reaching your goal of say £1000 will feel like such a great achievement when you finally get there.
**If you know how much money you will have each week or month to pay in, you could even work out how long its going to take you to reach your £1000?
**The main thing is to set a target and NOT to blow (spend) your money on something else in the mean time. As I said saving requires self discipline really.

You need to put the money somewhere you can't get at it.
Parents would be one idea.
Or get a proper piggy bank - one that you can't open - or I got a huge water cooler bottle and sealed it. I can fit £300 worth of copper coins in it. The only problem is I can't carry it to the coin sorting machine. |

Give it to your parents to look after, and tell them not to give it to you, i save £2.00 coins and its amazing how much you get, even tho it does not look alot, and when you see it getting more and more you won't want to break into it
give that a try also put all your loose change in a pot thats a good way of saving aswell |

For the rest of your life you will face temptation. You have choices to make, give in to these temptations or resist them. Each choice you make comes with one or more possible and/or actual consequences. Some examples:
Temptation/Possible Consequence
1. Go along with the crowd and do drugs.
You could ... overdose, get HIV or hepatitus from sharing needles, get arrested, and/or get addicted
2. Have sex too early.
You could get a veneral disease, get the girl pregnant, and get HIV.
Etc.
Often the options each have a seeming up side and a down side; e.g., IF you choose to save the money then your money is growing, earning interest, and you can save it to buy something bigger and better. IF you choose to spend it now then you get that immediate satisfaction of not having to wait. Both offer an up side and a down, see?
The same goes for drugs. You get to fit in, experience the high, etc. when you use drugs, BUT ... you also run the RISK of killing yourself, ruining your life, etc.
What can I say? You say that you WANT to save, but you aren't. You are focusing more on the immediate gratification over the long-term gratification. You would not be the first to do so. But NO ONE can make you save. This is a grown up decision. And it's yours to make. IF you cannot control your decisions to spend then you will be broke for the rest of your life. But it is STILL your decision. |
