MY WEAKNESS

I'm never able to save money , i'm always spending ( games , girls , gadgets , garments , gourments ETC ) . I earn and i spend lavishly . Maybe because i'm still single and have no responsibility towards family ( wife , kids ) .

What about you ? :)

I am awful at saving money. I'm way too impulsive. Getting a credit card didn't help me much either -_-

Save it. One day my money is going to be the real life version of megaelixers or I'm going to own everything.

I dont make enough money to really save it.

By the time rent and bills/food/beer are paid for, I might have 100 dollars left...I usually say "screw it" and have myself a couple good nights downtown or buy some nice bottles of beer or a video game.

I'd rather be poor and happy than slightly less poor and miserable

I save money, then at the end of every year I go and buy a lathe or new computer or something and blow most of my savings for the year. Though, I've had a comfortable (for me) amount of money saved during the whole of this pattern, so I guess it's not to bad.

Save lots and spend only when I really have to or really want something. So far so good.

I save money. I hate spending money and I hate buying expensive things because I always regret them. I doubt I'll ever earn enough money to completely not care where it goes because I'm financially set, so for my entire life I will always be a saver as long as I'm not rich beyond my wildest dreams (like bill gates rich).

I save a lot at a time. And then I spend a lot at a time. As in all of it within a couple weeks.

I'm currently a student, so I don't really make enough to properly save like I should.

I tend to save, but recently, due to medical issues, I've been spending my moneys. But for the most part, I save. I save and save and save. Had around 14k saved at one point(all from working minimum wage jobs), but now it's mostly gone.

Well I have a poor paying job right now while I attend college, so I have to save what I can. I focused more on saving towards the beginning of my job in order to be able to finish school and pay for my car should I ever get fired. Now that I have enough money though, I do spend more.

Lately I've been saving it...I really need a new couch though so that might change soon. I kind of want a new fish tank too. Right now I have my mother's ancient one and I find it to be a slight eye shore...like the lamp my dad got me for Christmas a few years ago...

I save it.

My friends tell me they'll spend it for me, and I believe them. Both the guys and the girls I know are like spend-happy. My best friend is a saver like me though, so no problems with him. :P My other friends, eh... not so much. :P

Any time I have extra money (which isn't too often at the moment) I spend it. In fact, I refer to it as my "spending money".

It is probably not smart in the long run, buy I live in the moment.

I'm extremely stingy with my money. If I ever want to buy something I'll research it for days (if not weeks) before I buy. I'm glad that I do that too, because often I'll want something really bad but then after a few days I'll get over it and be glad that I didn't get it.
