Are you BUDGETarian....frugal.. This what we called each other here in the office if we feel so frugal to spend money into something.Sometimes if we don't wanted to go to look for snack and just eat what we have like biscuits, we joke around and will say "I am budgetarian now." Do you budget before you buy something or just spend as long as know that you have the money to buy? Budgetarian.... I used to budget my money and think hard before I buy something, so I am really a certified BUDGETarian like what my office mates says. I am really practical when it comes to buying things and always compare before I buy.

I am not, and I really wish I was budgetarian. My bf really scold me when ever I buy something that is really not important. And I understand him because i know it's for my own good. I always end up asking myself where all my salary went. it just goes out of my hand as fast as a blink of an eye. I only go bugetarian when I really don't have any money to spend.

I am budgetarian too,before i decide to buy something i have to think about the budget or other think.I guess it's good cause this habit will practice our character about how to spend the money.I don't like to spend my money for useless product.I prefer to spend my money for saving or just dinner with my family.Budgetarian is useful for our future.

Hi ardoy, I'm more like a budgetarian when come to buying things. I don't like to buy things that will take up space in my room. I would have think so long if I really wanted something. Thinking of the year of commitment I have to commit to the things (furniture/accessories/bags/shoes/etc) that I don't use anymore. So yeah, I'm a strict budgetarian if I think that I'm going to waste my hard earned money to clutters. Generally, I also compare things before I buy. I always have the feeling like been cheated when I bought something more expensive when I can get it cheaper in another shop. The only exception is towards food. Tasty food is a bliss. Can't really set a budget on it. Hehe

Yes I am budgetarian. I always make sure to budget our weekly expenses to save some money and I only buy what we need for the whole week nothing else. Before when I was single I admit that I am over spending and spend all my salary on buying unneccessary things and I realized that I wasted lots of money on nonsenses things. When I got married I started to learned how to budget our money because money was very limited when were starting. Now I found it very helpful when you know how to budget money because little by little we can save money in the bank and wecan afford to buy things that we need and want.

Yes, i always have a budget for everything. Sometimes, i would overspend on one aspect, so i would tighten myself in another aspect. Like for example, i want to buy a new blouse, i would not eat costly snacks so i could save more and be able to buy a beautiful yet costly blouse.

i am also budgetarian and I think there is nothing wrong in it because it is kind of earning and saving and we can save a lot of money which we waste on lots of things. saving money is good habit because we not only saving money but we are helping our family in budgeting and we can use that saved money on anything else where we can multiply it or we can get benefit from it. today most of the things we buy are really not necessary and we can skip these product easily and use this money where it really needs.
