So, ya all.. what do you actually spend on ? I stay with my folks so i don't have to worry about paying electricity bills, water/phone bills, groceries etc etc. I spend my money on - clothes, going out w/t friends, fuel for my car(when i go out w/t my friends..as i get a cab to work), a library i subscribe to sometimes,internet bills,junk food ! yeah, thats about it. and i DO save a lot,too.. i'm not a spendthrift. are you ?

Thats sounds great. Right now I am on personal leave from work to care for my terminally ill mother who has cancer, and it has been a financial roller coaster for us. I have begged and borrowed and almost stoled just to keep her in diapers. I am not able to save anything. Dont have it to save

My weakness is clothing and my kids. So I spend my pocket money on clothing for me or toys for my kids. My husband is hard to buy for, so he usually buys for himself.

I should save it and start a business that will bring me good money. Im just too weak and always go spending on more and more clothes. ugh! What a bad habit.

Thanks for the lovely topic!

Bills, bills, bills, bills, utilities, house payments, groceries, grandkids, and if I am lucky, some travel. Gas prices are kind of high, and we each commute a ways to work. Not a spendthrift, but we made some mistakes we have to fix.

Since I am the second income I get to spend my money I make on other things. Although I have been known to buy a few groceries and put gas in my van. Also this past summer I spend a majority of my money fixing my van since it has gone too long for some things needing done. Also bought my hubby a van and then paid for a few repairs on it. He also fills my tank from his money, I just help. I maintain an Ebay store and paperback swapping site so I make sure I get to keep some of my money I earn. Also get myself something with each check, whatever I might be in the mood for at the moment. Our library is free so there is no cost for me there, unless I wish to print something. Also I have to put some money away for the property taxes we pay twice a year.

I save for things i really want. Like the new camera i am buying tomorrow. The Canon 400D. :] I'm excited, i've saved for over a year. I'm also selling my old camera on eBay so i can put a little money back into my bank account. Other than that i buy clothes and CDs/DVDs. I don't usually spend a lot when i go out with my friends as we go down the pub and i don't drink much. I do go to the cinema a bit though which is quite expensive!


angellady (10)  6 years ago

I save for things I want also. I am prepared to purchase a new car, a macbook (for my last year in undergrad and my grad schooling), a digital camera, and an ipod this year. I'm not that great @ saving money because I am a shop-a-holic. I love to shop, and since I have been working full time and going to school full time I shop alot online now. My new years resolution is to save more and work out more. I have set up a e-savings account to have money direct deposited into my savings that way it won't rest on me puttin it there. The working out thing is another subject.

I enjoy spending my pocket money on my kids, if there is any left after that then I enjoy buying things for my mom and sending them to her. Usually nothing left after this but if there is then I spend on me.

Yes you are absolutely right. Spend first for your family then your loved ones and lastly to yourself.
