I am considering doing this. I think I would keep on saving my money until something neat catches my eye.
ReplyDeleteI won't do this, but i do save my money, to be rich, simply put 10 percent of everything you get into a bank :P
ReplyDeleteI would keep on saving my money and put most of it aside, then if I see something that I like I would buy it but come on I am a kid how much stuff do I need!
ReplyDeleteI guess the question is - Do you think this particular plan is a good one for saving money?
ReplyDeleteI save money a different way. I put half of everything I get in the bank.
ReplyDeleteI will NOT save this way. I would (If i used this method) keep on saving, and buy something BIG! -aidan
ReplyDeleteI don`t know what I would buy, but my chores money is about $2-$3.
ReplyDeleteI do not think I would save this way. But if I did I would probably buy a new pair of headphones or something.
ReplyDeleteI think I would save this way because usually I go and spend all my money before I get enough to buy something good. Saving this way will let me have most of my money with me while the rest is sitting in a bank then if I go and spend all the money I have with me after 52 or more weeks I can just take the money in the bank and use the for shopping at the mall with my BFF or whatever I'm doing. I'm not sure what i'd buy probably an itunes gift card, case and new headphone and if I still have a bit of money left over I would buy the shirt that says I 'heart' and then a picture of a mustache and some mustache earrings to match. Yes... I do love mustaches
