Lately, I've noticed I really haven't wanted to get any of the new games being released, despite really wanted them. I dunno, maybe the recession has turned me into a penny pincher. Far from it. Not saying that's bad or anything. What about you? Do you save every last penny you can find. Do spend all the money that gets in your hand before you can say "paycheck". Or do you say "screw money" and just steal what you can?

I tend to save up until I can afford something unbelievably expensive and, more than likely, something that I don't need. Then I spend it all.

I rarely spend money, but when I do, I spend quite a lot.
I have expensive tastes.
This. Except, sometimes, I'll do an impulse buy because I'm impatient or really bored one day.

Im fairly certain i make more than you do. Although i hardly buy games, but not because im cheap but because i find other things to spend it on. Come on i onve left a 35 dollar tip on 10 dollars of food, i dont think i qualify as cheap at all.
That must of been some really good food.

You probably do earn more than me, I didnt say i earn a fortune, i just said i earn quite a bit more than my overheads, And my hobbies are collecting guitars & Videogames. Also no GF means i only have to spend money on me.

Lols upon reading my comment i kinda comes across as serious, Twas only meant to partially Ricochet teh sass.

My original comment wasn't meant to be smug, but once i read it i suddenly realised it sounded increadably smug.

I sure hope that's a joke...


On topic* I've become very cheap in the last two weeks. Something to do with moving out and having a strick budget.
It's not a joke that I'm Jewish, but the whole gist of the post was a joke, yes.

I'm living off government scraps and whats left of my credit rating at the moment so extremley, which does not bode well for me since I generaly am accustomed to fairly comfortable living standards. I budget everything now, clothes, food, electricity, lights, gas (have had my radiator on for about 4 hours this entire year) anything I cna save on.

Being a minimum wage worker with few hours I'm pretty poor, yet living with my parents means I get to spend it all on stuff I want, which is usually just books and games. I also come from a family were we save every penny, usually in a jar in the basement. We have about $50 in pennies, however its probably worth more in copper/metal than pennies.

I'm poor as shit right now. I can't even afford food until I start receiving a regular paycheck. But even when I have money I'm still pretty cheap. My wallet is full of coupons and I only shop for shit if there's a sale.
