Well you know am really bad at managing my money thus what I do is I transfer everything I earn in the bank account of my friend and he won't even let me have a penny from it even if am dying.. though sometimes if I desperately need he does allow me to have a little amount..!! Its more like having a personal finance manager

thus if you aren't able to save up yourself I will advise you to ask help from a friend of yours

its never a bad option also its better if he is super strict

Also I have planned daily usage like a dollar a day or something like that thus it helps me control whatever I spend.
for me the best way to save my money is to invest,if my investment is became successful and then some of my money i put in the bank....until my saving is became more on interest so that i can help also in my family....
