Oh? How old are you? You cold try saving up a little each week. I find that's effective when funds are constricted.
I'm only 14 and don't get an allowance or have a job. And I'm saving up most of my money for college.
Ouch. Well I'm not sure what to do then. ^_^; Just hang in there and hope I guess. Till then just keep doing your darnedest!
