I like purple flowers. I work at a grocery store. I made $100 for helping a customer. I am an only child.  I am trying to buy a car. I ride the bus. I live two hours from my job by bus.
I enjoy gardening.  Purple plants are my favorite.  I am an only child.  I live in Virginia.  I have a lizard named Gila that mostly eats insects. I ride the bus. I have a hard time saving money.
When did you get your lizard Gila?  I got her about two years ago. She's been great! You should get one! Nice. Yeah that would be cool but I'm trying to save up for a car. Are lizards expensive? depends on which you get but mine, if you believe it, was a rescue. And oh yeah, how's the car fund going? You almost there? Oh thats so awesome you rescued her, I love that. I'm getting closer and closer each day. I set aside money here and there, and then the other day I got a surprise - an extra $100 for helping a customer. I probably have like 3 months to go until I can afford it. I am SO sick of riding the bus everyday! Oh that's awesome about that $100. I know what you mean. Seems like the bus ride is getting longer and longer each time. I probably should save up for a car too but I don't know where to start. You should set up a budget to track your expenses and then try and stick to it. And allocate a certain amount of money each week or month that goes into a savings account that you don't touch, no matter what. You might have to sacrifice things here and there, but that is the tradeoff Do you use an app to track stuff or put it down on a spreadsheet or something? I built my own spreadsheet to track it all. I can share the template with you if you'd like? Oh that would be great. Maybe this will help me get my act together. I never seem to have any money! It has helped me a lot, it just requires a bit of self-discipline and like I said, some sacrifices. But you can do it! Are you saving up for anything in particular? Yeah I want to save up enough money to get another lizard to keep Gila company but I need a bigger tank and special heat lights and stuff.
