ramen noodles.  And if you drive, I hope you get great gas mileage.  Most people can survive with far less money than they think they can if they are truely careful with how they spend their money.

Do a $1 grab bag....everyone brings something from the dollar store, wraps it, and puts it in a grab bag.  During the night, you get to pick one out if you brought one in. \n\nChristmas Karaoke\n\nAsk your mom to go to orientaltrading.com for CHEAP party decor and favors...I mean CHEAP!  And CUTE!

$50 a WEEK for an allowance?? That is crazy - you're already lucky there...\n\nIf you really want one, tell her you'll get a job and earn half. Then get a job and earn half. Don't do the "I'll pay you back once I get a job" bit, that is annoying. Put up the offer, get a job, and actually pay for half.\n\nYou could buy a great laptop new for under $700. Macs are overrated anyway. So if you cut the cost in half by not wasting your money on a MAC, and then OFFER to pay for half - get a good part time job and you can be playing on your new laptop within a month!

Smile sweetly and innocently and say, "But you are supposed to be spending all your money on me!"  Then leave.  \n\nSometimes you may have to go dutch on a date or if the bill was $12 and he had $10, supply a couple.  But if they are taking you out, THEY are taking you out.  Just try to help a little with the cost of taking you out a little, things like "The dinner was nice, but how about some ice cream?  My treat" or "Thanks for the movie ticket, I'll buy the popcorn."

Hell, at least you're somewhat reasonable about it.  Some people want these results in days.  \nWell, if you've only got 50 bucks a week, that's good because it means you can buy less food.  Actually, what I would recommend you do is hit an organic market and buy a few good, high-quality foods.  Blow all your 50 bucks on yummy stuff from the place.  Some suggestions are organic cereals (lots of good varieties here), organic chicken noodle soup, and Amy's organic frozen meals.  On 50 bucks a week you can eat well and still lose alot of weight.  Since organic stuff tends to be a little more expensive, you'll also buy less food...which in this case is a good thing.\nAlso get plenty of exercise.  Just load up a cd/mp3 player with some good jams and walk a few laps around the neighborhood.  The music will make the time fly and walking is excellent for losing weight.  As far as water, try alternating between mineral water (I highly recommend Topo Chico mineral water - a Mexican import) and distilled water.  \nI lost 60 pounds myself this way in a short amount of time.  Good luck :D

First you need to write everything you pay for in a month in a notebook. This will tell you where some of your spending problems are. After this create a  budget. Leave your self spending money so you don't feel like your depriving yourself. Many people will not leave anything for themselves , feel bad, and blow their budget. If you have credit cards put them in a metal coffee can and freeze them. This will take some of the impulse out of your spending because while you are taking the time to thaw them out you are really thinking whether or not the item is worth it. Thats why you put it in a metal can so you can't use the microwave. Lastly remember to pay yourself first. Always make sure to put something away in savings. If you can do this with direct deposit, I would recommend this highly so that after a couple of weeks you won't even remember that you had it. Good Luck:)

put a little aside every day. i just took $5 out of my wallet everyday, before i left for work. if you do that for a week then you have $35. for a month that's $150. if you do it for a year then you have $1825. it may not sound like much, but it worked very well for me.

$150 for the week sounds realistic

Instead of trying to find a job to work during the week, what about just working weekends.  Retail and Restaurants/Bars would be a good place to make some money.  If you need quick money I'd look into a job as a food server at a decent restaurant or cocktail waitress at a bar.  Cash every time you work.  And the hours are usually pretty flexible.

Hey Gigi! Found a 3-step solution:\n\n1. Find yourself something you really really liked in childhood then get that & indulge for a week, it doesn't have to cost a lot of money.\n\n2. Check whether stuff you want to buy truly matches what you value at heart. You can start out by tracking what you spend money on for a week. \n\n3. After that week, slim your expenses down to what you value at heart. & keep indulging in less-than-GBP 2 -fun!\n\nIt's great, worked for me & lots of friends

you can survive without food or water for at least a week. Going out there without anything but clothes is rediculous, but possible. If you wear glasses, take them. DO NOT bring contacts if possible. You can also use the glasses for making a fire if the sun is out. Fire and shelter are important as one of the first things to make. The fire will keep you warm and should also keep animals and bugs away. \n\nFood is nice, but unless you know what types of plants are around, then I'd say forget about it. Water is pretty easy. Just collect dew that forms on plants. It may not be much, but it will be LOTS better than just drinking any water you find without using purifying tablets first or boiling the water(again, fire is good here). Hopefully there are some other guys with you so some guys can build a fire while others look for plants to eat. Also bring a belt, it will help tie anything together, and if you can, bring a bandana or wear two pairs of socks. \n\nEmergencies can happen when people don't know what they are doing, so if one of your guys gets hurt then you can use the bandana/socks as a way to dress any wounds or sprains. Unfortunately, we don't know where you'll be "surviving" and what the rules and regulations are.\n\n ALthough you may want to ask yourself if it is worth it to hang with a bunch of guys who are going to 'force' you into wilderness surviving for 3 days with only clothes that you are wearing. Oh yeah, when going to the bathroom, go at least 100 feet from your campsite. DO NOT eat any white berries, and leave anything with three leaves alone (look up poision ivy). Hunger and thirst won't be your absolute biggest worries, since you should only be out there 3 days. Go with the shelter and the fire. \n\nIf they DO allow you to bring one item I would suggest a zippo or a pack of matches, if two, then bring a metal pan as well, if 3 then bring a pocket knife. DO NOT leave your fire unattended for more than 3 minutes, if you burn down the area you are in you will be in deep trouble. \n\nOn elast tip: when you go to create a fire, use small dry dead wood at first and then you can work up to larger pieces. the dry and smaller the wood, the easier it is to catch on fire. Don't get discouraged! it's only three days!\n\nResponse to Little Seal: I said you could survive without water for at least a week. I never said you'd be at 100% or that it was a good idea. However, drinking unpurified water would most likely be way worse in the long run considering the various microbes that live in water. If he collects dew in the morning it probably won't be that bad. Also, if he finds food, he will be getting water from that. Keep in mind that these guys are making thier pledge go out into the woods with nothing but clothes. Also, congrats of joining the NAVY! hope you accomplish your goal.

well that depends on what your needs are and what you already have, but assuming you have a place to sleep, i would spend $3 on ramen (i don't know about you, but here they're 7 for 98 cents) and save the last 12 for emergency

If I was you, I would place a budget on my funds.\n1.  How much funds do you or will you posesse.\n2.  Find a motel on the outskirts of town.\n----That will rent weekly\n3.  Get a storage shed for your time away.\n\nIf you can follow your budget you will succeed.  For extra cash or for free rent call some ranchers or farmers up, they usually have big barns.  Clean there chicken coop or something.\n\nYou will make a friend, hence the glory of.\nGood luck :)

The people you love will understand if you can't afford to buy them what they want.  I'm sure they will understand your situation.  If you muct then go work in a bar for a few weekends and live as cheaply as possible.  Also make sure you weigh what you have to do for the money with why you need to buy things you can't already afford ex: I had a friend in college who became a stripper just so she could afford a lifestyle she was used to - then she got hooked on meth - from there her lifestyle and of course life took a dramatic downswing. Don't sell your soul and your life for material goods
