Do you budget!!

India

October 1, 2018 10:50am CST

Today, I want you to think a little bit about how you manage your money. what kind of person do you think you are when it comes to money management?Are you someone who keeps to a tight budget to make sure all your bills are paid and you still have something saved for a rainy day? Or are you more likely to spend what you want, and see how things balance out at the end of the month? I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

We do try to be careful with our income. It wasn't too bad when I was working, but now that I lost my job, we are a lot more careful.

We make sure we always have enough to manage and some put away for emergencies. We're retired now so it's important we don't overspend.

@Rosain Some people are not good at all at managing their money.

Overspending is a bad habit in my opinion.. Don't know why people do this!! May be they have more than enough money and they don't understand how to manage thus they spend it in unnecessary things.

My husband and i have separate savings. We dont buy much specially if they are not so important. We just spend more on food, but we dont eat frequentlyin restaurants and watch movies at home. But when it comes to big movies like M.I and so on, we watch in cinema, if it’s our wedding anniversary we eat in a fine restaurant.

since I don't work anymore, I have to be careful in using money. I save and calculate every time I want to buy something because we will not always be satisfied if we don't limit it.

When I was a child, I was quite the miser despite being so young. Even when my parents encouraged me to purchase something, I often refused to do so, as I wanted to save, save, save when it came to money. Nowadays, I'm still tight with my money. But I'm not a miser. I think I'd feel more nervous and uptight if I spent a lot of money on a regular basis, as I don't want to have to worry about not having enough money saved.

Great!! I'm little bit like you.. I also don't like to spend a lot on unnecessary things. Anyway, you do have a good habit

I have enough money for the things I need and want. This does not mean that I spend a lot. Having lots of clothes or shoes is not something that makes me especially happy. I'm a modest person by nature.

I see to it that I have at least 20% of my income go to my savings. While the rest is for paying bills and for my luxuries
