I have $100.00 in my checking account and I want to spend it. Help me NOT spend it.

No I will not send it to any of you. But, I want to learn how to save and conserve money for something that I want. HELP!

LOL. We can't help. And you can't 'learn'. It takes will power. To save money is a way of thinking. Just don't spend it. Put it in a saving account or something.

Agreed.
Hell, my checking account never has as little as a $100 in it.

Nocturnal,
How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

I try to keep as much as I can in it or in savings. I do not spend over my budget unless it is for an emergency or an absolute necessity.

I'm 20 I'll be 21 in a few months. I don't have a lot to look after, only pay for the RR, my cell, personaly loan and insurance. I think I'm going to pay my insurance off right now. Hehe!

Open a Roth IRA here and spend away buying something worthwhile with your $100. My top current top recommendations would be healthcare shares, either Johnson and Johnson (JNJ) or Pfizer (PFE), but any dividend paying stock in the S & P 500 would work. Think along the lines of Walmart and Procter and Gamble and you're in the right ballpark, choose some speculative crap like Lucent or JDS Uniphase and you might as well buy Powerball tickets instead, you'll lose your money just as fast and it will at least give you a couple minutes worth of enjoyment.
