    on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being you save every cent you get and 10 being you spend every cent you get, where would you put yourself??

    only really talking about items that you treat youself to, not food shopping etc more like nice clothes, games whatever ur into...

    pesonally i think id be a 4, spend a bit but not enough to keep me completely happy all the time...

    I just give my money to brian cowen personally, it cuts out the middle man.

    If I've got some amount of money, and I dont spend it on any given day, then I'll end up savin that money for ****in ages.

    About a 3. No point in not enjoying life but no point living from pay packet to pay packet either. I've a small sum in the bank and I'm never left wanting.

    Nothing to save nothing to spend :( What does that make me :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,889 ✭✭✭evercloserunion


    Probably 6, I am very stingy when it comes to things like clothes, games etc but I like to treat myself to junk food quite a bit.

    I think given the times that are in it anyone under a 5 is a traitor and should be shot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 243 ✭✭WeWillBeReborn


    Around 3 or 4


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p

    A saver predominantly, the rainy day an all that. I don't mind splashing out on those closest to me but don't usually splurge on ridiculous crap.

    I'm about a 10 (that's the only time in my life I will ever get to say that!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 427 ✭✭Keogg


    A 7 or an 8, definitely:D

    Damn all you 2s and 3s, hows that going to help anything? There's no point saing money when the recession will probably devalue it a bit... although maybe now that we have the euro... Meh, I dunno:pac:
    Fuck Politics.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    9.5

    Unless I have something planned that I need to save for, I don't =(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    I'm about a 7 , I spend a lot , save a bit and all those bits add up in the end


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,584 ✭✭✭TouchingVirus


    Ranges from being a 3 to being an 8 on a monthly basis. Usually around a 5 though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,534 ✭✭✭SV


    bout a 7 or an 8..
    I like having savings but..like spending money too..
    Kinda happy with savings at the mo so just spend all my wages on...crap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,153 ✭✭✭Rented Mule


    I'm a shower.....and a grower.......8============>


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,964 ✭✭✭ToniTuddle


    Definitely an 8 !
    If I have money it's spent on booze which eats it right up:(


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    About a 3. Always have been. Recession hasn't changed anything. Glad I have something there now if the worst should happen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,158 ✭✭✭donmeister


    10. Help me.

    I'll be a +5 when prices come down to a level that justifies it.

    I'm a happy 9. Not completely spend crazy, but if I really want it, I buy it.

    My philosophy on everything is: Hey, you could die tomorrow and then where would all your penny pinching have gotten you?

    No, life is for living, not for thinking about living. If buying a book makes me happy for a few days, I say there are way worse things I could be spending on, like fags or drugs or booze etc.

    Live life for today peoples! :D:)

    Easy as pie.


  • Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 11,183 Mod ✭✭✭✭MarkR


    Probably a 2 or 3. I buy what I need, and sometimes I buy what I really want.
