What Are Your Attitudes Toward Money
« on: August 15, 2016, 07:34:38 am »
Are you a spender or a saver? Do you budget? or do you wonder how much money others have?

I'm a fret and worry kind of money person. I budget, and keep track, but can't really afford my life, so get freaked out.

I don't bother being concerned about what others have as far as money.  I have enough trouble taking care of my own self.  I look at money as something to provide your needs and if possible have a little fun and recreation with because I am in my 60's and to be honest with you can't see the merit in worrying about a lot of savings.  I have been through a lot of really hard times money wise so now I just try to pay my bills, provide food for my household and put together enough to repair my house.

My attitude is I want more.  Never seem to have enough.

I'm definitely a spender, however, I've resolved to become more intentional on budgeting my money after noticing that I was spending far more than my income allows. Baby steps toward financial success, and so far it has been working!  :)

I'm a bit of both. I used to be an impulse spending. Now I budget out of necessity.

I am a definite saver who has a budget.i do spend money but am very successful at staying on budget. I do not concern myself with others finances. taking care of me is a full time job. Saving money can be just as addictive as spending it. :rainbow: :rose: :peace: :wave:

I always like to set aside money weekly for the bank. But I also budget all the money so I know what amount i can splurge or save around the house for a rainy day. Bank money we only use if an emergency occurs with a vehicle or home.
I could care less what other people have saved up. I am happy for them but I don't think about others money.

I find great joy in making it. The easier it is to make it the more I love it. This is why I have been a fusion cash devotee for almost seven years (next month is my 7 year anniversary). I have worked at least seventy hours a week since I was twelve and average about eighty hours a week these days. I double task at my night time job with fusion cash while I am waiting for files to down load. I should be done in another 90 minutes and will be back at it at four in the morning before I go to my regular job for ten to twelve hours. Fusion cash gives me more joy because I use that money to invest and have been quite successful over the last six, or so, years. My family gets all of the proceeds from my first two and a half jobs.

I am a spender but I have changed my attitude somewhat. There are some things that are a necessity and other things I don't really need and can live without.

At 78 years old, I am a spender. Money is for FUN and that's all I need. My wife pays the bills from our retirement income and I BLOW all the money I earn online on FUN STUFF. I just bought a new computer and we are vacationing in London shortly.
