    Love to help the economy (local if possible) LOL

    Try to get best price if possible.

    Nice to treat self / pet. Get something useful / practical / refresh.


    (though to be good, bought some bonds to avoid spending LOL)

    Saver!!
    I'm definitely a saver. I like putting money away for the future as you don't know what will happen later. As an example one day my benefits could be cut and I will be grateful to myself to be able to top them up with my savings. Another benefit is when something goes wrong that costs money, say something breaks, I can replace it immediately and then slowly pay back the money into my savings, rather than have to desperately save up, or worse, go into debt.

    I'm liking the poll @fluffycat!

    Definitely a saver. My father taught me well.

    Saying that, I can be a bit 'penny-wise and pound-foolish' from time to time :)

    I always save as I worry what will happen if I have no money. 
    However I think I must spend spend spend now, to help the local economy.
    I can't make up my mind what I need most though.

    Yes I’m a mixture but I save more than I spend definitely because I too have a fear of being broke ?

    As as I get older and unable to do physical activities gardening and DIY ect I save more and find it easier to give my tools ect away instead of selling them on line ect. Always giving them where a need is going to use the items.

        I can honestly say I have everything I need and there's nothing much I can say I want. I've never been materialistic so I save to spend on things that need replacing. I will splurge on a holiday though B)
