How do you save up for a iPod touch?

Answer 1

I am trying to save up for an ipod touch myself and i can tell you its not easy. Just try and follow these two simple rules to help you.

1. Try not to spend any or little money.

2. Do jobs around the house or in your neighbourhood for extra money.

Just wait and before you know it you have enough money to buy an ipod touch.

If you're really desperate ask for a raise in pocket money.

I hope I helped because it worked for me.

If you have a experience with kids tell people you can babysit

Answer 2

I am trying to save up for an iPod touch too!! I have been trying for a while and I can tell you right now it's not easy. But if you follow a few simple rules and keep persevering, then you will get there. (And I'm sure I will too.)

Here are a few tips I've learned from my saving experience:

1. Don't just sit around being wistful and wishing you had a new iPod! That will get you nowhere. Start jotting down ways to earn money and GET TO IT! (See the next tip for advice on earning cash.)

2. There are opportunities - be creative with ways to earn money. Maybe you can help around the house. Like maybe you can do laundry for a week and get money for it. Ask your mom/dad if they will pay you for house jobs, either indoor or outdoor. It's not that hard. Just look around you! Maybe your neighbor is old and asks you to get the mail for her each day?

If you're good with kids and like being around them, try babysitting. You might be afraid of changing diapers. If you are then look around for older kids. Don't get discouraged!

If you're an animal lover and are good with pets, perhaps you're interested in pet-sitting. That's a relatively good way to earn some cash. A good time to pet-sit is in the summer when everyone is going on vacation. People will usually pay you good amounts of money for taking care of their pets.

And lawn service! You can go around in your neighborhood and ask to mow their lawns if someone shows you how to use a lawn mower and if you have experience. And if you are older you can probably get a job somewhere, maybe at a clothing store or a water ice place? The important thing is to make the most of your opportunities and use them to their full potential.

3. NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!! Don't think to yourself, "I'll never get there. I can't." Say, "I CAN!"

4. Any special events coming up? There might be some money coming in... Is Christmas around the corner? Your birthday? You might not usually get too much on your birthday, or maybe you get a LOT. It doesn't matter. Tell people all you want is some money on those occasions. In the end you might not have gotten that much, but every dollar is one step closer.

5. Don't spend the money you've worked hard to save!Easier said than done. Keep it in a jar or in a safe place at home, not in your wallet, because you'll be tempted to spend it when you go out! You might get an invitation from your friends to go to the mall. Do you screw open your jar and spend your money, or do you choose to go, not buy anything, and just have fun with your friends? You might be disappointed when everyone else around you is spending money. But keep thinking about how much you want an iPod touch, and it will be worth it in the end!

I hope these tips were helpful!!! =) I wish you luck and hope you can get the iPod you want. In return, wish me luck as well. I really want an iPod touch too.

Again...

HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK!
