Celica Forums General Discussion General I need money saving tips...

Ok guys I make 6/hour and im 17 I want to save up for a 1996 MK4(Supra) TT but I cannot save money I have to blow it but I wanna save whats some tips!

1. make an accurate budget of your bills (if any). include miscellaneous things and entertainment money.

2. open up a savings account. When you cash your paycheck, take the apportioned amount of money you have figured in your budget to be 'extra' and put it in there. If you open up a savings account that adds a small fee when you withdraw, you will be less likely to take money out of it. Also, just having your money in a not so readily accessible place will make you less likely to spend it

i used microsoft works to make my budget, personally..but there are many ways it can be done (not all of which require a computer)

Ahh thanx Yeah I tried Excel already got it set up and uh yeah lasted one day lol I have a saving account but if I put money in I cant take it out till I am 18 Hune 14th...So maybe I should just ut money in there and proportion it out like you said..thats what I am gonna do...YES

good luck..it's harder than it seems.

just remember that when making your budget..be lenient. don't keep cutting it to extremes where you 'think' you can make due with this amount of $$. be fair to yourself (your young so it's not like you need to stress over paying bills upon bills.

proportion out a pretty fair amount of entertainment expenses and force yourself to keep to it. also remember that friends birthdays, graduations, dances, etc do happen and you will need to spend $$ on those events.

Even if you can save 50-100 a week--that's awesome.

good luck with it..hope you get your car

Yeah I am in love with Supras...Everytime I see one I get laughed at by my friends just cause I tend to chase after it around a corner to ride off in the sunset without me but one day it will be mine and Im gonna say bye bye to everything(hopefully)

ahah I have a friend like you. He doesnt have a license and when he drives with me he always tells me to follow the supra, I just laugh and say start savin

good luck on the savings

but it will take you a long time if you are just saving just a little at a time

try savings everything you got

Yeah hehe see he knows what im talking about...but when i get it I have to worrie about the Honda Civic cause the rock says the civic can never lose, I used to have the picture but I cant find it and the rock said so i dont think i can beat a civic

supra vs civic...hmmmm.

anyway, the supras are very nice cars. in my opinion they are overrated. a stock m3 can beat a stock supra Turbo...for 50k less.

what year a BMW M3 less than a Supra? I can fin done down here TT Auto for 18,500...

Good luck Celica^2k1 just focus on your goals and you will get it

least yours at this moment is easier to attain as compared to mine... see that picture of a Murcilago in my avitar??
That will be mine one day

(i saw my neighbor has a black one and realize it is attainable, course he has buttloads of money but hey its possible)

yeah just jack it one night get a paint job hang low with it fr three years so its off the stolen record...move out of state and boom

Ur only 17. Insurance will rape you horribly. They already think my GT is a sports car. Better get it under your parents name.

If you want to save money and you have a girlfriend, dump her (unless she's rich). You save mad money that way if you really want a Supra.



j/k

i can't save money either good luck with buying a supra

so true, girls are a waste of money man, i had been trying to save up for a celi for like 2 years, broke up with my g/f and 6 months later, i had one

ha ha good one.. cept its parked in the garage, has ADT but one night he left his 360 modena spider parked outside since it got stuck in second gear and they had to have it towed =P that woulda been nice too from his front parking lot to my parents garage

and again good luck with saving for that supra

LoL Seriously.

Date to the movies: $9.75
Prom Dress: $175
Late night phone bill: $230
Dumping your girlfriend for a Toyota: Priceless

ROFL

so true..

its cool if you can save 50-100 dollars a week, until the second of the week of the month comes around and im stuck payin car payment and insuranse...YUCK

Yeah but I am thinking of maybe a MK3 single Turbo until I get my MK4 TT what do yall think about that plan? cause June 14th I turn 18 and my dad is getting me a loan or a finace and im thinking maybe a MK3 to get used to the power they have because I was gonna bye my dads vette off him but I am scared of that bitch every time I drive it I get scared but then again a supra is 10x better so I think ill get an MK3 and save until I am used to the supra feeling.

Or maybe a Celica...cause I had a 2k1 but I was drinking and my DD was being stupid and uh yeah ran that bitch into a tree going 40 it was totaled but yea

MKIV Supra (I presume) certainly is nice, a bit pricey for the early ones but the big thing to consider is insurance (big bucks) and repairs which can be pretty expensive on a 93 or 94 car (since those are the cheapest MKIV's due to their age) sooo save up lots and lots!

I know how you feel though, I wanted a Supra pretty bad and I checked a couple out (sat in them and started them up) but the repairs and insurance is what stopped me, and I know a guy who bought a '93.5 and the Turbo's ended up blowing so he had to dump money into that and other parts.

i'm right there with you..i want a murcielago as well...as soon as i get my ferrari enzo, bugatti veyron, porsche carrera gt, and saleen s7

The best way for me to save money is not to eat out so much. I realize I waste so much money when I go out to eat when I could be eating my parents' food. As for dumping the girlfriend, well... mine buys things for me and is really good to me, so I dont mind dropping money on her, plus she pays her way most of the time

I buy food and ciggs I need to quit smoking

when you turn 18 get a better job. you can make $10.50 an hour starting pay with FedEx like I did...I now make $11 and might get another dollar raise I'm only 20 and gonna hopefully be pullin in $1800 a month.

Wow will they higher me? does it depend on driving records and stuff?

Yeah when you turn 18 you should wait tables at a chain restaurant. I started at Chili's, and it with a lot of hard work, in 3 months I became a bartender there. good money, and I've been doing it for about 10 months.

what country are you from celica 2k1? no offense but I think my 10 year old brother spells better than you

I used to be a bus boy I dont like it

apply and see if their hiring. you wont start as a driver, you'll be a handler in a warehouse. you'll sort and stack the freight into big ass cans that go on planes and trucks. thats what i do and its cake.

if you ask me, i say finish your studies queicker...gain experience faster (ie: voluntere), don't waste your time/energy on drugs and shit you don't need.
if you do the math right, you will end up getting your supra faster than someone who works his ass off min wage...

atleast from my exp.

6$ an hour...that sucks

I started as a busboy in another restaurant, but I made 7/hr because I worked hard. When you turn 18, a whole new world of oportunities opens up as far as the work place is concerned.

I am from the USA I am not a good typer...that is all I try to type fast without looking so leave me alone

dont save do a hit opr somfhing and sell your celica and then you have mony
or in my case i need a lot ton start saving with about 3000 $ try selling somfhibng so you get a good start

my advice..simply cut away entertainment things...20 bux here and there adds up.you dont realize how much money you spend until you stop soending it..and you see how much it all adds up. if you cut out the small things..you could b saving like 300 a month. and thats enough to finance.

Like my uncle says "Pay yourself first"...If you want this car really bad you can save for it. It will be tough with your 6/hour job.

Supra ? Expensive toy!
$6 hr? By the time you'll get the money... Supra gonna be even more expensive it will be a "CLASSIC"

Options:
1. Ask Santa Clauss (or your parents) for one, next Christmas!
2. Buy the lotto every single day!
3. Wait 'til you get a College Diploma and make $25+ hr.!

* DON'T SEE A CAR AS A TOY *. Remember: Expensive car = Expensive Parts & Repairs.
Get an affordable car! Get a CELICA!

^^^ Sad, but he has a point... Supras are awesome cars, but there are lot of factors that you have to see.. Just Imagen how much you Insurance is going to cost you.. and Parts .. but keep saving..
don't go out!.. every time you go out, you spend money.. Keep Saving.. !
