What do you mean by you have to spend the money you get? If you're just spending the money you get on little things here and there, then, just stop buying things. Avoid places and things that you know will make you spend money. If you mean you have to spend the money for like actual necessities, then just start saving the little extra you have. Yeah, it'll take a while and probably suck, but at least you'll get the money. You could also just save all the spare change you have, and eventually it'll add up. Just look for ways to get some extra cash, too.

I mean by 'I have to spend my money' is that one way or another, it has to be spent. Im not a shopoholic. Its just, say, I'm late for returning my library books, I have a fine. and, I never get around to returning the books! then, the fine gets bigger, and bigger, and bigger! I've returned the books, but now I have to pay!!

I would recommend first finding out what money you need to spend before you start saving. You could make a budget of the money you need for food, clothing, shelter, the bare necessities, etc. Then, you can set aside any spare money you can manage into a savings account. Not only will it be harder for you to access that money, but you'll also start to gain money from interest.
As for the library books, you might stick a little post-it note at the beginning of the book with the book's due date, just to remind yourself. If you find that you can't finish a book in time, renew the book, or return it a few days before it's due.

Haha, Helmet, I've tried that, and it didn't work out too well...
And thank you Speckley. I'll do that before I get books and ya, I should set aside some cash.
