Hello my friend, and welcome back! Haven't seen you here for a while! I must admit I'm not a savings type of person - I spend, spend, spend................! I know it is sensible to save for a rainy day, but I always think that rainy day may not happen, and, in the meantime, you might as well enjoy yourself!!

Are you a member of the Saudi Civil Service with a job for the next few generations ;). Seriously, I know what you mean about wanting to spend, spend, spend and the rainy day never comming. But unfortunately rainy days have a nasty habit of being very wet and being able to cause a damper on ones good mood. Would be highly advisable to develop a small saving habit. It's much easier to talk about it, I know but if you do, having a nest pile would help you make it through the rainy days when they do come and may you continue being able to spend, spend, spend

I was very glad that I had the foresight to save hard when I was working, little did I know that at the age of 32 I would give up work to go back to college, I was able to live off my savings, I couldn't have done that without money at the back of me, the savings have gone now so I have to start again once I go back to work full time. I will check out the link because I am a natural born saver. Thanks
