Well, that's contradicting. You can't really save if you just earn something enough for basic necessities.Try to find a better work. :) Or try to plan your expenses and see if you can change some thing s in order for you to save even just a bit of your income.

I don't have idea for the situation. maybe you can reduce your pay for some item and save that.

this is really so tough. why don't you use your talents to earn money then borrow some  money then make sure to let it grow.

It is a catch 22, right especially in this economy.  We want to better ourselves, and our situation.  Try to cut corners where ever you can.  Do you have cable tv?  get rid of it.  Sometimes we have to sacrifice in places that we don't want to, because we think we deserve this or that.  But wouldn't it be much nicer to be in a home without cable tv as compared to living in a shelter with no tv? Even if you can give yourself $10 a month in savings is better than not giving yourself anything.  Pay your bills/debt as you can, but always pay yourself first.  And then cut back where ever you can.  This is one reason why budgeting is a "must do!"

Maybe what little change you do manage to save can be put into something that will be very hard to get to or to open, then you'll have to do without untill it is built up to a good amount! Such as a nice piggy bank that the only way to get to the money is to BREAK the bank and you wouldn't want to do that till it is full. Or here's something that is odd but I did it before: I dropped my change down the register vent for about a year and when my husband opened it up for cleaning, we were happy to find over $100 down there! It worked great! That was someplace I couldn't easily get to!

You save money, for example, you eat less at the hotel, you buy fewer clothes, and when the bus you go

Saving when you are broke is a really hard thing to do. You need to think of other ways to bring in more money. You should go through all of your things and put some stuff up on ebay. Join some more sites that you can earn from. Get a part time job. Start using coupons and be sure to conserve your electricity. You need to be frugal to save, and you need to earn more than you spend.

Well, it seems that things are really hard for you. I don't know how can I answer your question because it seems contradicting in a way. You need money to buy your basic necessities. I think that you shouldn't deprive yourself of that. But if you can keep yourself healthy, then try to cut down on what you eat everyday. Maybe you'll be able to save money that way. It doesn't need to be big. Big things start from small beginnings anyway.Good luck and God bless! :)
