3. ima big spender and regret it later.....
4. I save my money. Mom calls me a scrooge O.o
5. I save my money then I spend it on something big. So...I'm both?
6. Big time spender. Once I get money watch out because I will go on a major shopping spree.
7. yes ,
8. you and me both sister, money burns holes in my pocket, i HAVE to spend it. My advice? have fun while it lasts lol
9. I am the worst at saving money. I always always always spend my paychecks when i get them
10. BIG time spender lol it sux:(
11. Depends but mostly I LOVE spending money LOL
12. Big time spender and it gets me into trouble sometimes
13. both
14. I always have this urge to go and spend some money on pointless things, or things that i need!! But i can totally save though. I'm not a big huge spender, or shoppper. I'm good at saving...but it doesn't last long!! lol hehe
15. If I'm trying to save up for something that I really want, I usually can. Otherwise I pretty much just end up spending it right away.
16. ~I spend my money wisely.
17. I try to save, but it is also hard to live within my means. When you have children and a house payment and two car payments it's really hard to save money.
18. unfortunately I'm a big spender.
19. I am a saver:) But every so often I treat myself and splurge. It feels better then getting a pay check and running out and spending it. That way you look forward to things. And...I have to save for school.
20. I tend to be a "big-time spender" but then again, with what I do I don't have many bills or expenses so it's mostly expendable income. What I would suggest is to do a budget for the month and figure out your expenses vs your income and go from there.
21. i save ma money easy! just thnk wen u r bout 2 by somfin, do i really need this or if u can, byt the cheaper kind or whateva u r buyin. My friend takes some money from her purse each week and puts it in her bag and that is all of the money she can spend that week, it really helps u 2 realise wat u need to buy and wat u dont! :)
22. i spend half and save half..or some times just spend it all :)
23. i'm a spender....unfortunately my husband is a saver or as i like to call him cheapskate....anyways he handles all the money since he makes it!
24. you know what the funny thing is... i try so hard to save money, and over a period of months to years i succeed, but somehow life just puts me into situations where i will be forced to spend a large sum. and i wonder why this keeps happening. and a lot of times, these things are for other people or situations, very rarely do i get to benefit from it. gawd knows, money solves all our woes. i try so hard to save, but with the kind of salary i have, whats the point anyway? how does anyone do it? with the high cost of rent and gas these days, its amazing any of us have any money left over.
25. I am a binge and purge kinda gal. I can go 6 months on a really strict savings plan and then I will have a week where it all seems to disappear.
26. spender but like my parents dont give me that much money but i spend what i get
27. I am terrribible! lol.... I earn little money at babysitting, but i love to baby-sit! Yea, ask me to save it, and i spend it! ...lol
28. I prefer to save money.
29. The best way to save money is to treat it like a bill and always pay yourself first. That way systematically over time it will add up. You should make a budget and set up all your bills and then you income and always use that. Don't spend what you have not budgeted for and you will never run out of money.
30. I know exactly how you feel. I guess the first step in an addiction is admitting you're addicted. I cannot go into a store and NOT buy something or just about, well it's been so ever since I got a VISA, I make my credit card company jump for joy. What I do is I have 3 accounts at my bank, a checking, a savings (with a VERY harsh limit, I can't withdraw from it unless I go to the bank and see a teller.) and a US account for my American shopping XD. Gotta love dual citizenship, double the shopping. Anyways, I can basically save as long as I keep my savings under control. I find it more exhausting to go to the bank, wait in line and see a teller. I also have an amount taken off my paycheck and deposited directly into my account to make sure I save some. At my bank, they stop when I don't have enough to put in, you have to make sure for that so they don't charge you for having a negative in your checkings, I know they charge 40$ here when you "borrow" from the bank. Hope this helped! V
31. I try to save and invest, though I spend my money some times too.
32. Ima BIG Spender and regret every cent that I used. The longest i'Ve saved was about a week then I got Toaster Strudel ($5.00 each box), 5 magazines ($3.00 each), and 6 packs of Stride Gum ($0.95). Again that cost me a lot of money
33. total spender
