Learning to Save
Learning to save starts with knowing your financial reality and priorities.
Start by analysing your spending habits. Is there anything in your budget you can eliminate? Are there any costs you can reduce?
For cost-cutting ideas, visit the Consumer Measurement Committee's Consumer Issues for the Young online series. Catering specifically to young shoppers such as post secondary education students, advice here ranges from shopping for a cell phone to buying your first car and moving out on your own.
