Five Ways Singles can Save Cash.
1. Stop Impulse Buying: Do not just buy any thing. Make a list of what you want and a budget of the cost. This will help you save more money and know what you always need.

2. Avoid Too Much Girls in your life.

This is especially for guys took much of women in your life is going to be extra spending. If you must date, date one girl.
