Money, Money, Money

On Wednesday a man from  ASB bank came to talk to us about money, saving, taxes and things like that. We learnt about ways to earn money and what you should do with it. I thought the lesson was worthwhile because I learnt so many new things from it. I'm the sort of person who try's to save up money  but always just spends it on things that don't leave me with that much money left. I could probably improve my money management by trying to save rather than spend.
Something I have wanted for a while now is a new phone. I have a pink brick phone that for some reason won't let me call or text even when I have credit. I know an iphone is waaaaaayyy out of my price range but I did see a couple of touch screen Samsung phones that I like. I am still about $200 short so I am going to try save up my money (for real) this time. My money related goal for this year will be to try save up as much as I can without blowing it when I see that really cool life sized lion toy.
