how to save money

saving money - mitchell

Hey you! Are you looking for some ways to save money? Do you spend too much money on things you don’t need? Do you need more money for more important stuff? Well here is a solution I think will end all your problems. 

Here are some optional ways you could save money. Firstly you should start putting money aside. If you earn pocket money from your parents daily instead put it in a money box that you can’t touch or maybe only spend around 3 - 4 dollars. Here’s a challenge : If you want to you can put away every 5 dollar note you find or receive and spend all of it at the end of the year. Also it is good to save for the future in-case of an emergency. You could even hide a 10 dollar note in a book for an emergency when you run out. This will help you to save more money and also think better for what could happen if you run out during a hard time.

Another idea includes to stop buying things you don’t need. For Example : instead of buying chocolate bars, bubblegum packs , bags of potato chips after school, save it for something more useful like school stationary or even to reward yourself at the end of the year buy something you like or have been wanting for so long.  Purchasing items you need will prevent you from buying things you don’t need in the future. For Example when you become a adult and you really want this new phone everyone else is getting, instead pay your rent and save for it later. I do think this will help you to realize what’s more important in life. 

Finally the last way to save money is to shop smart. If you go shopping at the mall and you want to buy some shoes from a store you could look at the discounts they currently offer in the store. Maybe they would have a discount with some items - $150 black chucks with a 20% off discount. Or to shop even smarter if you have time, I would recommend to go to every store in the mall and compare the prices of the exact item. I do think that this will save money. Even if it’s by 1 dollar. If you are buying a chocolate milkshake for $5.50 maybe the ice cream shop a few steps away offers to sell it for $4.00 

Now that you have read some ways you could save money you could use these tips next time you go shopping. Remember think shop and save smart. It could save you a couple of dollars in the future.

Summer Learning Journey - Day #16 : Turn of the Century

Hey Bloggers! Today is Day #16 of Week 4! Let's Begin!

Activity 1  : Celebrating a Win

Image Attribution!

In 2000, the country of New Zealand celebrated when Russell Coutts and his sailing team won their second straight America’s Cup. This was the first time that a team from New Zealand had won back-to-back championships! Many people celebrated the victory with their friends and family.

On my blog I have been asked to tell you what me and my family do to celebrate a special event. Well sometimes we like to gout to restaurants for dinner and desert or we have a small party at our house. We normally decorate the table with lollies, food, drinks and more!

Activity 2 : Lord of the Rings

New Zealand Money!

Arguably one of the most famous movie trilogies of all time, The Lord of the Rings, was filmed in New Zealand. All three movies were directed by a New Zealander named Peter Jackson. The first movie was released in 2001, the second in 2002 and the third in 2003. The movies cost an estimated $300 million to produce!  

Instead of keeping the money Peter Jackson decided to give all the money to me. I have been asked to tell my blog what I would with the money.

• First I would give some to my family! Buy a House, Food ( etc.
• Second I donate some to charity for families to buy food, a house, education supplies and more.
• I would give as much people money just off the street for free!
• Keep the rest and maybe spend it on stuff I would want.
• Maybe some to my friends!

Bonus Activity : The Rise of the " Selfie "

Although most of you are quite familiar with the idea of taking a ‘selfie’ (picture of ourselves), this was not always the case. In fact, it wasn’t until the early 2000s that people started talking about the idea of a selfie, taking selfies and posting them online.

In honour of the rise in popularity of the ‘selfie,’ I have been asked to take a selfie of myself doing something I really like to do such as an hobby!

Here is a picture of me travelling!

I love to travel! It's one of my favourite hobbies!

Thanks for watching!

Happy Easter! - Holiday blogging #1

Hey bloggers wherever you are in the world. Happy Easter! That's right it's Easter Friday. Long ago Jesus died on the cross for everyone's sins. Yep on a Friday he died for our sins. A sin is a (bad thing) that you may have done. 

Did you know everyone in the world has sinned. Well today Christians celebrate Easter and thank him for dying on the cross and saving our lives. Right till today he is living in Heaven with God.

Well since people around the world have been celebrating Easter, over the years Easter eggs were invented. Did you know back when Easter eggs were invented people used chicken eggs and painted them with colourful colours just to celebrate Easter.

Now days it's made out of chocolate, some hollow, some filled with a surprise but every single one of them is wrapped with foil or in a box. Today we will go shop for some more and my mum will hide them. 

Do you have Easter eggs? Are you celebrating Easter with your family?
Leave a comment below if you are celebrating Easter!
