I like to spend money as much as I like to save it.
Do you tip the scale between spending and saving?

Right now I am lucky to save. I only work part-time and still looking for full-time. It makes it hard to just pay your bills. I have managed to save back some, but it is spent on car repairs and insurance. I am glad to have it though.

I use to be a spender, but in the last 10 years as I neared retirement and matured, I prefer to save.  I feel more secure and material things mean less.  Also, the type of material things I like has changed.  For example, clothing means a lot less while fixing up my home is more important.

Full time jobs are extremely hard to come by.  I am trying to find ways to make money online but it seems all that is a scam.  Making real money that is.  A few dollars here and there - yeah that is possible.  People want to say "if you want it bad enough you will make it happen" but that is not always possible.  It's easy to tell someone else how to live their life or how to do things when you personally have never had to walk in their shoes.

I just cleaned out my basement and it was unreal and the useless crap that I threw out.  I try not to buy things I don't need.

I save money,i am not a spender type.I don't know if it's good or bad, but for us it is good, because we are able to add some sq/ft to the house.

I am retired and only work part time, so I prefer to save. I am a thrifty shopper when I do shop but am not trying to take on any major bills beyond everyday living expenses.
