Find out what this girl did with her part-time job

A part-time job can help you make money and gain valuable work experience, but it’s important to make sure that the job fits into your daily schedule, doesn’t interfere with your schoolwork or social life, and pays enough to be worth your time and effort. As you think about the different jobs available, here are a few questions to ask yourself when deciding what kind of part-time job to take on: • How much do I want to earn? • Is the work during school hours, at night, or both? • What time of year is best for me?

Think about why you’re saving

Is it to retire? Pay for your children’s college education? Purchase a house or a car? Make sure you have a specific goal in mind when you start saving. If you can’t identify why you want to save money, then chances are good that your money will be spent on things that aren’t aligned with your real goals. A lack of financial clarity and planning can lead to emotional spending, so it’s important to stay focused on why you are saving.

Budget your spending

Track how much you’re spending each month and look for opportunities to cut back on your expenses. Living on a budget gives you more control over your spending, helps you avoid credit card debt, and reduces stress in your life. Try starting small: aim to spend less than $1,000 each month until you get comfortable with tracking expenses and cutting back on nonessential items. Put together a list of areas in which you’d like to reduce spending (gifts, entertainment, fashion). Then figure out where to make cuts—there’s probably money hiding in there!

Write down how much you have to save

This can be a daunting and intimidating thing to do, but if you don’t know how much money you need in order to retire, then there’s no way you can ever hope to save it. If your goal is to create a plan for your financial future, start by answering that question: How much money do I need in order to retire? Then proceed from there. (Disclaimer: This number will almost certainly change over time.)

Set aside one day a week for saving

Whether you’re a single person who needs to save up for retirement or you have a big family that wants to save up for summer camp, everyone can benefit from setting aside one day a week to put money away. Think of it as just like any other errand: You can choose one particular day and make it an accountant errand day where you stop by your accountant on your way home from work. Or maybe on Sundays is when you always go grocery shopping, so that could be your accountant errand day. It doesn’t matter when or where; just schedule in some time each week for putting extra money away. That way, you won’t even miss it!

Create a positive environment

The main goal of your office should be to create a work environment where people feel appreciated and respected. Your employees want to feel like they’re in an environment that rewards hard work. You don’t have to throw lavish parties or buy expensive gifts, but small gestures go a long way—like sending flowers when you hear of an employee's birthday, or emailing an appreciative note after receiving a positive performance review. Creating a positive workplace can help improve overall productivity and foster strong employee relationships as well as inspire growth for your business. Remember, happy employees equal happy customers!

Keep track of your progress

Today was a great day. I earned $125,000 and had two jobs that were very easy to do. One of them I got paid to update my Facebook status with how many friends and how many followers I have on Twitter. The other one was doing my laundry for $500. But, yesterday wasn't as good because I only made $11,000 from watching YouTube videos about makeup and having people send me random requests to add them on Facebook or read their writing or poems on Wattpad (which is now Tumblr). It's really disappointing because one of those gigs only took me an hour and now my fingers are all pruned so they look gross after a whole day of sitting in water without moving around!
