Hi, I think this tendency exists among many of us. The more money we earn or have in hand, we tend to indulge in greater spending. In fact, I used to do this a lot in the past. I would buy lots of earrings, shoes and bags. But I have thankfully been able to curb that tendency to a great extent now. In fact, my mom was surprised when she saw me passing a great accessories store without even stopping to look at their new collections. She told that I had indeed changed a lot as I did not splurge. I am happy about it. I think with a little control over our mind, we can succeed in avoiding the tendency to spend a lot. Happy Mylotting

It's up to us to control our expenses. The more money we make, the more money wecan spend. However, if you don't want to spend everything, try to save some amount of your money. It depends on your needs or wants. Happy myLotting.

My friend and I also once talked about this topic- the more you earn, the more you spend. We, at the office, are also guilty of getting more and more charges to our credit cards as time passes by. Thus, even if we are earning much more than we do so two to three years ago, we still find ourselves unable to cope up without the need to apply for loans or to avail "Call for Cash" offers from credit cards. :( It's like getting more and still wanting more. By nature, people can be like that. Actually, this was tackled when I attended a seminar on personal budgeting. It happens because we do not make plans ahead on our finances. We act on impulse. Like," I have money now, so I'll buy this and that." then, "I'll be receiving a bonus by this date, so I'll buy this and that coz I can pay for it anyway". So when your actual money comes, you have a pile ahead of you that needs to be settled. Not necessarily all that you need but just all that you want. The secret is to make a list of all the things that you really need to pay for monthly and compute how much you can save after the expenses, and then stick to it. On budgeting, set aside the computed monthy savings before you touch anything. With this, you can clearly see how much you can spend so you don't have to over spend.

i think it happens to everyone on us. the more money we have, the more we want to spend. but its better that we keep control on spending money. Its very easy to spend the money we have. but its difficult to earn it. So spend wisely.
