Work for it. Get a job, get a second job, cut grass, day labor, save save save...

I would haul hay, get short jobs plowing or bailing for people, do a remodeling job on a house, or paint a house for someone. Anything I could do to make a buck if I needed or wanted something. If it did not pay enough I would do the job and just save the cash and do more work.

When I was living at home was the easiest time for me to save. No rent, no real food bill, no utilities... When I got out on my own it was harder, but I was still able to do it.

I can not identify with the "want it now" attitudes today. Not saying you are like that, but I save whatever I can to get the things I want. When people come to my house they always think I make a lot of money because I have a lot of high dollar things but I hardly make a dime. I just know how to save and how to work extra for what I want.
