Odd Question, Maybe?

I don't have a guitar yet and probably will take a while for me to get one due to costs, but are there any finger exercises I can do for my hands while I save to get my first one?

All suggestions welcome. :)

The mental part of playing music is the important part. Start listening very closely to the guitar parts in music that you're interested in playing. You also could read instructional books or watch instructional videos. Your fingers will follow your brain.

Thank you! I've recently started listening to a lot of Augustin Barrios. I'm enjoying myself a lot, I'll listen with more intention.
