Are you tight?

....On cash at the moment? I don't have a job at the moment so cash is pretty tight for me.

How about you guys?

I'm in between. I'm flush with cash at the moment, but have a kid on the way, so I'm socking away most of it (that which I'm not spending on 'baby stuff')

I'd wait until after your wife's baby shower before spending any money on baby stuff.

I'm really low on cash right now due to not having a summer job and having a huge love of buying new music and games frequently.

Ahhh. Yeah, that stuff makes sense.

I thought you meant things like diapers, bottles, etc. We filled our entire crawl space under the stairs with boxes of diapers :P

*sly grin*

I'm pretty damn tight currently actually.

[QUOTE="Atmanix"]

[QUOTE="YellowOneKinobi"]Yeah, I hear ya. I meant more along the lines of furniture and other things that aren't on the registry. That and things from the hardware store like paint, a new light fixture for the nursery, stuff like that.

I wouldn't recommend it, baby's grow differently (obvious statement is obvious). My niece grew out of the smaller diapers extremely quickly. My son on the other hand has been in the same size for many many months now. Just keep your eye on sales. Another reason not to buy them in bulk is that some diapers are better than others. We originally tried Huggies and he always leaked through them or gave him rash. Pampers were good but I know other people had the opposite problem with Pampers not working for them and Huggies being great.

For a newborn I'd try Pampers first. They have a built in "tester" that'll tell you if the diaper is wet or not with a quick glance. Once he/she outgrows those I'd try out the Target generic brand. Everyone I know uses them, they're good quality now, and they're signifcantly cheaper.

I dont make much money but im in high school so it doesn't matter. I do little things here and there and im saving up for probably a new car.

Regarding the second, I'm intrigued about the 'tester.' Totally going to take a look in the diaper aisle when I'm running errands this week. Also, BIG fan of Target here :)

i guess not. just got paid today :D got almost $1000 in the bank. not a lot, i know, but it's more than i've had in there in awhile.

[QUOTE="Atmanix"]

[QUOTE="YellowOneKinobi"]Thats AWESOME! I've thought about, once the time is a little closer, just going over to one of the local 'big box' stores and getting months and months worth of diapers in one shot (of various sizes/stages of course).

Yes. I'm still dependent on my parents, but as for personal funds I'm broke.

Flat broke. I'm having to wait for a place to become available at the local hospital for casual labour, and that doesn't really seem likely due to some administrative cock-ups lately.

I won't be once I pay for the fall semester of college.

Yeah I'm pretty tight, I need to find another job

i guess not. just got paid today :D got almost $1000 in the bank. not a lot, i know, but it's more than i've had in there in awhile.

i spend about a25% of my check on maintaining my life style, but thanks to the gym and healthy eating one of the many definitions of tight still fits.

Aw I thought this was a question directed towards the ladiez.Solid_Snake325

:lol:

Anyway, I make very little money but I'm 15 so I am still dependant on my parents.

Pretty much this, although I think I have a 50 and a few 20's laying around here somewhere...

I just quit a fluffy $30/hour job with only 2 years of university behind me. Either I'm loaded or brain dead, take your pick.PS2_ROCKS

Brain dead...

I would say loaded and an optimist.

Yes. I haven't worked for nearly 9 months now. I've been looking for work but can't find any within a reasonable distance...tocool340

I didn't read the thread, I just watched your sig! :P

So tight.

I am with school fees due in another month and a half.

I am too tight with spending cash. I have a lot saved up, but I think I need to enjoy myself more. Time to spend. :)
