How can I save money if i receive SSI?

Thanks Rainmom, if this is the question, the poster can look into an Individual Development Account, buy a burial plot or prepay funeral expenses, or look into trusts.

I suspect what anneb is asking is how top put aside money beyond the limit that SSI allows. Once you have more than $2,000. in the bank SSI will no longer send checks.

Anne, perhaps you can tell us a little more about what you want to know. Do you receive SSI? How old are you? What are your living arrangements? Are you looking for budgeting ideas or???
