What are some tips to save money so I can buy an ipod?

Question by ?dancechik?: What are some tips to save money so I can buy an ipod?
Right now, I have an Ipod shuffle, and it’s okay. I really want an ipod nano though! I was thinking about labeling an envelope and every week maybe adding 10$ to it. Right now i can pay for it, but then id be broke, you know. I am only twelve years old, what can i do to get some money and not to spend it on other things!!! Help!

Your question has to do more with self-control. If you feel you cannot stop spending money before you get you i-pod, may I suggest selling older stuff on e-bay. These would be old video games, old computers, old toys. The money collected might be enough. Also look to buy a used i-pod, it will be much faster buying an old one. Good luck.

  1. Get a piggy bank, and superglue the bottom opening so that you can’t open it to get the money out. Put money in it until it is full and then break it open with a hammer.

  2. I have an ipod touch if you want to buy it… seriously no scam, i want to get rid of it. i never use it!

  3. * Shop at thrift or discount stores. Branded household items and designer clothes are nice, but you can save a lot of money if you buy discount items at thrift stores. Try to buy the best possible deals at discount stores; just because the item is on sale doesn’t meant that it has to be of lower or cheaper quality.
    * Buy in bulk. Wholesale purchases are cheaper than retail purchases in the long run. It’s best to schedule wholesale grocery shopping once or twice a month for you to save on travel expenses and other purchases.
    * Get rid of unnecessary expenses. Your quality of life doesn’t have to be reduced just because you’re trying to save money, but always evaluate your shopping lists and expenses to see if you can live without one or two expensive items every now and then.
