How I save money for cons...
I've put a little less then half my paycheck every month into my savings account. I put half of my birthday money into there as well. I've been doing this since I was 12 (the birthday money anyways). I now have $6,000 dollars I can use for emergencies and trips. I take about $100 out for each con and it's refilled back up by the next month.

Right now, working for temp services. My first job was last week, but only lasted 1 and a half days thanks to me getting sick in my moms car at lunch time. LOL. Will be working at the lane county fair next month, and hopefully be doing more temp jobs in the meantime.

Will give me what I need while there, ans then some.

I should have about 1,000 by the time the con gets here. I hope to have more than that

I'm going to be aiming to reduce my con expenses to $20. Livin' on a budget, yo!

$20 doesn't require saving up, fortunately, it just means 4 days not spent going to Ground Kontrol.

I am going to have 250 dollars for con ^^

I have no Idea if I can make enough in time. I have a job with my dad scraping the peeling awaypaint off the house, and my mom is paying me a little bit to make my brother lunches. But I don't know if I will get enough in time D:

I have no job, but I have financial aide for college. I plan on saving as much of that as possible for Kumoricon.

And if I actually happen to get called back on one of the thousand job apps I've sent out, well then that would just be swell too.

No....mostly for school, I'll probably spend about 200 including my hotel bill

vampirek_yaoi · « **Reply #113 on:** July 22, 2009, 09:01:02 pm »

Well I work...and then decide how much money I feel like spending sometimes $500 other times more..depends on my mood.As I don't have to worry fro cosplay since I'm not really into it (never been really) I don't have to spend money on that..as for Hotel room it's really not that expensive so I can easily pay that. So in the end I never worry much for money when K-con comes around which is good.

I clean house everyday and get 10-20$ a week.
Also, My grandma is letting me house sit August 6-9th.
They have a cute yorkshire terrier. I'm supposed to babysit.
And I think I'm getting paid a bit.

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #115 on:** July 24, 2009, 11:40:39 pm »

I might be a bit late to this forum but, I have a job with direct deposit. So whenever I feel that I'm spending too much money, I have my mom hold on to my debit card.

I keep telling Steven to do this. He never does. :/

I'm totally a professional musician now so that's how I'm saving up.

(in truth, I'm going to be trying to aim to put at least 50% of my earnings towards next year's housing)

Kimiski · « **Reply #117 on:** July 27, 2009, 03:58:31 am »

You know... O.o
I just save money I find around, and for chirstmas and my birthday all I ask for is money for Kumoricon. Somehow I end up being able to afford it every year, may be the reason I havent bought any new manga in a couple years, lol.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #118 on:** July 27, 2009, 08:22:54 am »

I got another paycheck Saturday for about $400. I spent about 50 and the rest went into savings. I am not going to buy anymore things I don't need anything else till the next paycheck

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #119 on:** July 27, 2009, 08:25:53 am »

I get paid today, yaaay!
