Most people are interested in learning how to save money. It doesn't seem to matter how much or how little you earn, everybody seems to be interested in finding out how to save money.

Well, here is a little something that allows me to save around $1,000 per year. It's simple, it's safe, it's foolproof.

I always go to the bank on Friday to withdraw cash for the weekend and the following week. Invariably I find that I usually have some money still in my wallet from the week before.

I take it out and put it in a tin. Often it is just a $10 note and a $5 note and some loose change - around $20. It's not a lot. But whatever it is, I take it out and put it in the tin.

I make sure that I REMOVE this "leftover" money before I go to get more money because having what I call "excess money" in your wallet or purse makes it far too tempting to get rid of it. That is, spend it. Usually, this is on something needless, useless and wasteful.

You will NEVER learn how to save money if you always spend all that you have got.

Whenever you have more than enough of anything you tend to be wasteful and frivolous with it. And money is no different. Not knowing how to save money will ensure that you will never have much of it.

If you are able to collect your small notes and coins and put them into a tin that you promise NOT to access then, by year's end, you will have around $1,000.

Now, that will be $1,000 that you would NEVER have had otherwise. It would just be GONE!

This is just one simple way of learning how to save money. It only takes a simple system like the one that I have outlined and a bit of discipline.

I can easily save around $1,000 per year just by following this simple plan. I have been doing it for years. Try it. You'll be surprised at how quickly it adds up.
