spending money
« on: November 17, 2013, 06:29:05 am »
at this time of year, are you feeling "strapped for cash"?

I find this time of year I am always low on cash available from the year's expenses.

There are times that i feel a little strapped, if there is something i want I know i have the money for it but it is not in my budget and i will not get into the savings for something that is not really  needed. I feel that you should always have a savings for emergencys.

I put away a little money each week so I have some to spend at this time of year, when that is gone I am done shopping.

spending money is nature...i'm always looking for ways to make myself feel better about how much money I spend...such as fusion cash!  Mystery shopping and other easy ways to make frivolous spending affordable and recreational...i'm all for it...what's life without spending money and going to work.  Yay!!!

It seems like I'm always strapped for cash even as frugal as I am!
Have a wonderful day!

I save my money for Christmas.  But this year I had to buy me a new car and now have a car payment.  Will try and cut back on what I spend.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

Don't we all. I feel it is just best to live below my means or within. If it's a "NEED" great it's worth buying but if it's a "WANT" I'll just not going to waste time thinking about it. That's how I think about when it comes to spending money this holiday season.

We are always strapped for money.  I don't care what time of year it is.  I struggle with life every day.  I receive food stamps and I try to buy for one good meal a day because that is all we can afford to eat, now my doctor wants me to eat three meals a day and two snacks i can't afford to eat that way.  He chewed me out about eating at fast food like french fries my town only has subway and I rarely go anywhere that is part of my personality disorder he really made me upset.  I wish I could change doctors but we are limited here in this little town.

I feel strapped for cash around the holidays. What I'm doing this year is really thinking about gifts because every year I buy stuff for people and they don't want it. So If I know that someone like chocolate covered what evers I will buy them that or if someone likes walmart, Iwill get them a store card so they can buy whatever they want. Some people won't get anything. I'm tired of wasting money.
