Save money

I've told you about my Goal to save Money for this year. That's important for me, because I'm doing my Drivers licence at the Moment.

You know, I'm living in Bavaria and that's the place where the Drivers licence on average is the most expensive one with the wohle cointry. I have to calculate more than 1700 euros. A lot of Money, for a Teenager like me.

Save Money could be easy or the completely opposite sometimes. Maybe you'll remember your childhood, I'm sure you all had a piggy bank. Everytime you had got Money from someone you did it into your piggy bank. You saved there the most Money.

Today it's different may you haven't anymore such a piggy bank and all in all you become older. We spent Money on a lot of Things, unless Things, Cinema, Food and so on it costs Money. All this Things are robbing our ingrediets from your purse. I've listed a few Points they could be useful when you want to save your Money.

1. Use your rabatt codes. One example is the Deutsche Bahn. They have something called JugendBahnCard for People their age is under 18. You have to pay 10 €, but it is worth it. I've saved Money with the first time. Now I have this Card since 2014 and saved arround 50 € . Maybe your Country has also such an offer for Teenagers.

Another important Card is that every Student have a Student Card. It's a great Thing to be Student, because you get Discount for different activities when you bring the Student Card with you. It isn't much at one time, but when you Count it, you save Money. In normal the Discount is between one to two euros. (as an example Cinema)

The rabatt codes

2. Don't buy books!! That Statement sounds really stupid, I know. Let me explain. Books are great, I love them. Nevertheless you only read a book in normal one time and than they are Standing in the wardrobe for the whole life. I've done this experience. Selling books is hard and you have to be lucke when you sell them for a Minimum of Price.

I've changed to library. It's a better idea and in every "bigger" City is a Big library, I'm absolutely sure that you will find there great books. Try it and save a lot of Money.

3. Do it yourself is an idea to save Money, I love. You make Things with love and spent only a Little Money. For example this nice headbands I nocked for me. In a store you pay around five euros for simular ones. With wool ( Price variable) and a a Little bit of knitting skills you are allowed to make it under three euros.

My selfmade headbands.

4.Do I really Need this market product or is the other one sufficient? Everyone has to decide this on theirselves but sometimes the no Name product is as good as the expensive one. You can save Money in this Point, so think about it.

5. I've said something from a piggy bank in our childhood at the beginning of the post. I have one until today. My bus bank is so great because every Money you save in it, you won't do it outside so easy or do compromises. You saved it in this piggy bank until the time come you saved enough for a dream.  You save your Money effective.

 6. The most Money I spent for is eating and drinking. It's silly because you think I won't spent so much for These but in the end you spent more you wanted for. The difference is you bought three times it for Little Money instead of one time more and you won't be hungry after eating. More than four times a week I spent Money for buying Food, because I'm hungry after School, Drivers School or be bored by waiting for the next Train. It's an easy Point, because you can save so much Money with not eating outside (only at home) but when you are hungry, you are hungry and Need Food. So take more Food with you for example Sweets for the Little hungry between School and home. Than you can eat the great meals at home.

7. Check out the Prices. Different stores, different Prices. Sometimes true. One example out of my experience: Jewing gum, we have one store where it costs 2.45 € and than all the other ones sell the same product for 2.49 €. The Discount is minimal in sum of an year it's only around one euro. Discount is Discount, so check the Prices and may the Discount is more than a Minimum.

I've saved the last two month with the listed Points around 70 €.

The TRY: Structure with a planer

 I've became this time manager from a friend. She bought it in her holidays in Netherland. I can't speak or write dutch but the simple days are easy to learn. Maybe you already read in my Goals for year 2016 post that I want to bring in 2016 more structure in my life.

It's terrible, I always have excuses that I haven't to do something. For example: Learn for School. Tomorrow is also a day I can do this. Or I would like to write a post on my blog but no, I'm to tired. Everyday the same excuses. Tomorrow is also a day. Really?

My grandma always said to me: What you can today don't move it on tomorrow.

I think this words are so true. Of Course we have tomorrow but when we don't do a thing today, could we really belive that it's tomorrow done? No, there is a doubt.

It's a really big goal for me and it means to go out from my comfortzone. Live the life and not I'm alive and have a life.

The time manager will help me dealing with the time and the aims I set. No more excuses, you have it black on white.

Something that might be interesting for you stranger at the other side of the Screen:

I've timed (that sounds funny) that every Monday latest Tuesday a new post will be on my blog. I have the Weekend before this deadline and so my Brian can think about something whole two days. In these days the most interesting Things happens of my student's life and this get myself ideas for the blog.

A Little bit late but also with much love I wish you a greatful and succesful year 2016.

Happy New Year!

Goals for 2016

 It's the end of year 2015. In this year we had mountains and Canyons, like every year. The good intentions repeated anew. We always have Goals we will archieve in the next year. At this time in 2016 and this is my list of  ten Goals for the following 2016:

1. A smile

is so simple but sometimes have an effect of a wonder. I love this when you are sad and any stranger is presenting you a nice smile. Your day is saved by this human. This human I want to be for other strange humans. The smile is a great gift and we can give it to each other.

Also my Hand smiles. I'm honest it's stupid but looking funny.

 2. Learning snowboarding

sounds really cool and the year 2016 is the perfect year for such activities. My grade will have a one week stay in Winter Italy. The pupils the can it are allowed to go the mountain down by their own in Groups. The others have the Chance to learn Snowboarding or Skiing. That's so fantastic. I've already had a Course in grade seven ,I think ,for skiing but haven't had do it until now again. In this time you only could decided if you wanted to learn skiing or go hiking. At my opinion it's more interesting to lean Snowboarding than skiing, so I've dicided I'll do a Course for learning snowboarding at the stay. The Thing is skiing is easier to learn and you won't fall down all the time.What do you think? Is it a good idea to do the Course when the others wich decided to do the Course already can surf with the snowboard on the snow?

3. Save Money. At the end of every month I check in normal my fiance. Not infrequently I spent to much Money on unless things. I simply bought things I have had already twice at home or I haven't needed until now. That have to stop, for this Money I could buy better things or only fund for Holidays or the Driver licence.

4. Learn how to drive a car. Yes, I'm sixteen. I can start with the driver's School with sixteen and a half, so you are allowed to do your driver's licence with seventeen. With that one you are allowed to drive a car when your parents are sitting at the passenger seat in the same car. That's sad but true and with eightteen you finally allowed to drive a car by your own without your parents at the seat next to you.

5. Go on Holidays. I love that, you learn more about other countries and the culture when you are in Holidays. Furthermore beside the Family Holidays I want to go with my friends into the Holidays and have a lot of fun with them far away from our parents. Confidentally who doesn't love this?

6. Bring a Little bit more structure in my life. Who don't know this, when you are coming home you only want to go into your room and first take your phone and search anything or the eyes are so heavy and you fall asleep. An hour later you notice I wanted to do this or this. The time is over, we haven't a time machine ( that would be so cool). Sometimes I forget so much, and yeah Blogging also. My Brian is an salad. I hope the timer bring more structure in my life and remember me to do the things.

                                          

7. Take a lot of photos. Photos hold memories. It's so an amazing Feeling when you know you shoot a great photo. Let's try to be a good photoprapher and hold the memories with photos.

8. Participate a Marathon. For now two years it's my Goal for the following year but you see I haven't archieved it. I want to Change it, defeat my inner pig dog and do it. Go Jogging in the morning and Walking through the finish line at the Marathon. No matter with which number, to be the last Person will be also ok.

9. Learn for School... Everyone which is going to School say this at the beginning of the year and we all know what the end is. You haven't learnt more than the years before. Am I the only Person? I hope not but come on Lea, a Little bit more Motivation for School and you will be happy.

10. I want to sew a Dress for me. I love the idea of sewing a Dress for me by myself. Which Girl doesn't dream about the perfect Dress designed by yourself? So it is. I know the Dress won't be perfect and of Course not looking like the dream but who cares. It woulf be an Unikat and unique that is what Counts. We will see.

I WISH YOU ALL A GOOD NEW YEAR´S EVE AND HEALTH, SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS FOR THE YEAR 2016
