Do you live below your means or above it? What do you do to keep your spending in check? I try to save money, but it's hard because the money always has to be used for something. I just try to make sure that I get the best deal possible when I spend money.

I think I spend more money than I should, but I never am spending something I don't have.. I am, now that my bf and I have a lot more bills to think about, going to be working on spending less It will be easy, b/c I won't mind staying here. When we lived with my dad, I wanted to leave a lot because the house was stressful

I haven't been spending a lot of money because I'm living on less, but before that I didn't tend to spend a lot of money on things mostly because I had most of the things that I wanted. It is tempting to spend a lot of money because there are many things to want--electronics, clothes, etc.

I was very tempted to get a new computer today so I can do better with my online jobs. Then, my bf and I decided to get bikes instead. What a fun idea!! We rode our bikes home from the store and it was just really fun. I think I'm going to surprise him tomorrow and meet him at work when he gets off

I rarely spend money even if I have money I can't spend that much on stuffs that I see over the mall. I always keep in mind that I'm broke so I won't spend at all. The only thing I spend on most of the time is only for food.

I usually only buy food and spend the rest on essentials like bills. I don't want to be the kind of person who has poor impulse control and buys everything that they want. That kind of thing can quickly spiral out of control and end in regret.

Beats me thats just what my husband thinks. He spends like there's no tommorow, when he got money there's no way he's gonna keep it. He even bought this crappy computer chair now it's useless because it's smaller than his size. What a pain.
