Not taking into consideration that we are experiencing economic problems these days, which one would you do? Shop or Save? Especially if money is not a problem.

I personally would rather save up my money to buy something bigger and more important that would last much longer than something cheap

Save. I've always been a hoarder of my goods, be it money or any material objects I own. When I get money, I tend to immediately send it to the bank and keep it there unless and until I really need it. Often while shopping I'll go into a store and see things I like... but will walk right back out WITHOUT buying them.

Shopping, that is if money is not a problem. But, with my present situation I cannot afford to go shopping as I please. We only buy what we need.

Yeah, we only buy what we need. But if money is not a concern, definitely shopping for me! Wooohhoooo.....

I would have to say in my opinion people should spend some to at least see if that might help to get the economy back to where it should be. I have to say for me I don't spend a great deal anyways. Although when I do have a little money my husband usually ends up with it and it ends up being spent anyway.

With the global recession, i'd rather save up my money for the future.. though i know saving has been one of my long term problems, i'm still hoping that i would be able to save something for myself.. i don't have a real job because of my illness and i'm only making little amount of money by completing online opportunities.. as much as i wanted to save, i can't.. because there are so many bills to pay for every month such as condo rental, association dues, electricity and water bills, etc..

I would rather save. I don't really like shopping much unless it's something special. I have a hard time buying clothes so I don't like to shop for them.

If money wasn't a problem, I'd go back to shopping as I used to, but as times are getting tricky, we are saving as much as we can, just in case of that rainy day. We have cut back on alot of things, kids' treats, snacks and going with what we need, instead of what we want. Hard to just get the needs, and leave the wants at the store.
