Best way I've found to save money is to "pay yourself first". This means setting aside part of your paycheck (maybe 10% - whatever you can handle) into a seperate account and getting into your head that you simply can't touch this money for day to day stuff. Its really just a mental thing, but once you get this straight into your head you will find it much easier to only spend what you have left (ie what you can easily access).

Let me give you a similiar analogy from my life. My wife is always buying fattening food (shes really skinny already) and I hate it. Still if the food is sitting in the pantry I'll eat it without really thinking about it. If instead I pick the food up and put it into her home office I never go in there and eat it. I know its there but by moving it away from the pantry I just never go get it. Putting part of your paycheck into a seperate account works the same way.

Discipline. Open a high interst bearing money market account (http://www.hsbc.com or http://www.virtualbank.com or http://www.ingdirect.com etc.) and create a monthly/weekly auto-withdrawl from your checking account in an amount you can afford.

Automatic deposit. Create a special savings account (a money market mutual fund might be a good idea) just for this purpose, and have your employer automatically deduct a percentage of your paycheck into this account every month.

I know, I know, moment of panic, you think you need every penny - but if that penny is safely invested before it ever reaches you, you'll find you didn't really need it for other stuff anyway.

Check out some books by David Bach or Suze Orman to get really inspired about how to save money, and the best ways to do it.

Set up a savings account or better yet, a money market account, and set up an automatic transfer from your regular checking account into that new account. Set it up so that it happens every month without you having to do anything.

If opening your own business is way down the road, maybe invest part of that in stocks. But, the automatic monthly transfer will make you start saving. Just don't allow yourself to pull that money out for anything other than to invest it in something with a better return.

Don't spend it

You can start by spending less money than you bring home.

I direct deposit my paycheck to mychecking account. Then have my bank automatically move 15% of that to my Market Rate Account. It was an adjustment at first but after awhile I didn't miss it because I didn't ever see it.

I routinely increase the amount that goes to my Market Rate Acct. when I get a cost of living increase or a raise. Again, I never had it so I never missed it.

The other thing that helps me is to periodically write down everything I spend, for a month (everything!) Then I analyze it to see where my money is going.

Another thing I do, once a year, is sit down and look at all of my standard expenses--local/long distance/cell phones, cable t.v., ISP, car insurance, etc. and then do some comparison shopping to make sure I'm getting the best prices I can for these.

These really disciplined me to live on a set budget, and save money.

Good luck!

Ask a reliable relative to help u and mail them money to deposit into an account. Explain to them to not let u have the money except to start your business. Treat that relative like a monthly bill and always send ANY extra cash. It doesn't matter if its as little as $10- it will add up! Good luck

save money first. before giving or paying bills. it must become as important to you as breathing air, or you won't do it.

become debt free. with no payments of any kind, saving money becomes even easier.

also do not begin a new business with debt. meaning don't borrow to start the biz.

follow the baby steps in the link below

I found out saving money via using a budget really helped and still does.

Allow yourself a weekly allowance, a logical amount of course. Then put aside a portion of the remaining money after paying the necessary bills.

I hope this helps.

Good Luck!!
