Who sucks at saving money?
I put some money into savings on the 29th, and I've already been itching to spend it. I've been doing random ebay/best buy searching for the last hour because I have this money I want to spend because I know I shouldn't.
I hate having to save money but I know I should :happysad:

I suck horribly if I don't use Quicken on the computer. I thought I had about 1500 in the bank, low and behold I pull out my weekly spending to notice I am down to 800. I think I am gonna start getting back into using Quicken to help me see what I am spending my money on.

Money comes and goes w/ a quickness!!
Every time I know I got funds in the checking account, I'm always out looking for stuff to buy like comic books, action figures, DVDs, and vinyl. But I know my priorities first like groceries, BILLS, and rent!!! So yea, it's mad hard to save $$$$$ when you are living from paycheck to paycheck!!!

I'm terrible about it. The minute my bank balance goes over a comfortable amount (that amount changes constantly, it's all in my state of mind) I go shopping.
Tonight I blew $75 on new clothes. Granted, they're meant for a job interview on Thursday, but still. :happysad:

i am HORRIBLE, in a sense, with my money. i love spending money, but i dont make much. :exnbp:
ive been in debt since i was 18. i still carry a $400 balance from way back. but i guess the good part is, i havent paid more than a couple bucks in interests charges. since ive been doing the ole "0% APR for XX months for balance transfers." i still have till july to pay that $400 off.
but i just got in the mail a card with 0% APR on everything till 02-05.
:tempted:
- and of course i have a lil lump in my savings account that i usually dip into come my annual insurance bill
