    pretty good i'd say. i have to pay my car insurance, phone bill, and the loan i took out for my truck every month so i can't be stupid with money. the rest of it mostly goes to alcohol and food.

    Yeah pretty much same for me. I do save money for 'later' and unexpected things but I'm not like cheap and not spending money on going out/holidays etc. I want to live a little. I know people who are 100% about saving and don't do fun stuff at all.

    Thanks mate! Curious about your answer by the way

    If I had it to spend I'd spend it, if I had it to save i'd save it.. I have two jobs and nothing to really show for it, but i have a roof over my head I guess that's counts for something

    it sucks being an adult

    I'm a saver, wife's a spender. But life is way more fun going out all the time, seeing games and plays and meeting friends and traveling, so I'm enjoying the spending part

    Being able to take care of yourself (and a family if you have one) is the most important thing

    @Loyalty thats the spirit!
