Homebodies spend less money! Yay

Like you i like my home..in fact i love my home!!!...and i see nothing wrong in wanting to stay indoors ...im often at home all day....and very often on my own...but its a pleasure ..i can do as i please....watch what i want to watch and type away if the mood takes me.... I ont have any kids at home now..just hubby...and I keep an eye out for my Mum...but I still have time to myself..which is so lovely...

I'm a homebody and I agree that I save a lot of money for being one. For staying at home instead of going out I saved my transportation, eat-out, and movie allowance. But most of all I save a lot of money for not shopping....

I love to stay at home. It has become my haven! I look forward to weekends and being able to sleep a little later and not dress for work. There are no schedules on the weekend and after I do the things I need to do, I can have some free time to chill, watch movies, catch up on freelance writing, family time, etc.

I love staying home i just wish i could find a way to make mor money. I know mylot is good but if Im gonna stay home i wanna enjoy not stay on my computer for hours on end. which is what i do now to make a few cents day. It would be nice to enjoy my time at home

Yes, I agree with this. When we are at home, we are not enticed to spend much. We tend to budget everything including the food and other items present in the kitchen. This is really a good thing especially if you're with someone.

I completely agree that the more time you spend at home you spend less money. However, I'm an outdoors person. If I'm inside for longer than an hour at a time I go nuts. Although I'm outside alot, I don't necessarily throw away cash. I enjoy working out so when bored I'll go for a run down the prairie path for an hour to keep myself busy

definitely... i love staying at home as well... i don't go out unless if i needed too... it is a waste of money... everytime i go out, i will definitely spend money... the least is on the meal... so nowadays with the prices of everything rising so much, i try my best to stay at home as much as i can to save on fuel as well... and yes, i can do lots of things at home... i can read, watch movie, surf the internet, and mylotting... instead of wasting money, i am saving money like you... well done...

yah you are right... staying at home can save a lot of money... staying at home for me is preferred too because you will not get tired for the day... but staying out is good too... sometimes

Yeah I totally agree with you. I like to stay at home as much as possible and it is fun as well and it saves us tons.

Oh, absolutely! No matter where you go, it costs money in one form or another. Even taking a drive and not stopping anywhere costs in gas (and we know that's gone through the roof!), and then even if you stop for a drink and a candy bar, there goes at least $2-3. If you just go 'window shopping', sometimes it's hard to resist a good sale, and while discounts are great, you wouldn't be spending the money at all if you hadn't gone out, right? My husband and I stick pretty close to home unless we're out running errands and getting the things we need. We rarely spend on anything that's not a necessity.

i can say that i agree with you lol i can save more money rather than going out to the mall, etc. i love saving money than spending money lol cause i'm not working yet and i'm still saving my money for some future purposes

YESi definitely AGREE with you..just like you im a big homebuddy than hang-outs.....its better to sleep than goin out with friends..then spend a lot of money like a snap of the finger...and for sure got to work hard for the next week earnings..."too bad people live like a one day millionaire"...wherein so many street children suffered hunger,,,

YEAh..i definitely agree with you,,,just like you i am really a Homebudz than hang-outz...love to sleep all the time ~goin out with friends is really costly,,,and you never noticed you spend a lot then you had to work extra hard for next week work...~ to gain what is spent *too bad* some people spent like a one day millionaire wherein lots of street children suffered hunger..:(

Im a definate homebody,theres nothing that I like better.I think its right to say that we probably spend less being at thome.I only wander into the nearby town if I really need sometihng.I go out everyday for a wander,but im content enough at home.Today I dont feel like doing too much,so im just going to sit here for a while and type,im just going to have an easy tea,so not much preparation today.We have had a roast for the past two days so we will appreciate sometihng light.A lot will say that people who stay at home miss out on a lot ,but I dont think that we do,I like to listen to the radio,and watch television.I like my sewing and knitting and of course my typing.Like you I like the peace,we dont have any children at home now,so its usually peaceful.

I spend alot of my time at home. It seems when you get in your vehicle and go anywhere, you end up spending something. It is easier to stay at home and go nowhere.

it is very obvious. when you go outside, you end up spending money. be it travel,food shopping and all. But i am such a person taht i can never save money and always end up spending too much. this week i am really short of money.

Oh I agree with you there are so many advantages and you can still have quite a bit of fun too. I don't think someone has to be out to have some fun, there are still things you can do that are fun and that cost so much less. I love watching movies and don't always have to go out to do it. I love to curl up on the couch and have a big bowl of popcorn and watch a nice movie. It is the comfort factor that I love the most too. I mean you can not get too comfortable at the movies anyway. At home you can lay down and rest and you can pause the movie when you need a toilet break, yes so there are many benefits. I know some people are used to going out so much and that is why they say they are bored but it is because they have not really put much thought into it and have not prepared their own fun. Sometimes it does take some preparation especially if you just want to have like a romantic dinner at home or something along those lines. It is worth it and it is nice because you don't have to drive anywhere and you don't have to drive back home. Yup I am a homebody to answer your question and loving it.

This is very true. Once my dad got his computer he told me that he was saving a lot of money since he was now spending so much of his time online. With gas and food prices being so high I do not mind being a homebody at all.

I'm a homebody. I'd rather make my own dinner and watch a movie than go out to a resteraunt and then watch a movie at a theater. I try to get my boyfriend to see that you can have fun at home too. Just have to be creative. He calls it boring. I call it saving money. I don't make much as it and with the rises prices of everything, going out to dinner one day means I can't pay a few bills.

I usually also like with wife the matter which is some everybody in the home to like,that feeling is indescribable!
