Pay day means spending on groceries, bills and of course something for myself or my family. My son who is a teenager is always wanting new clothes as he goes to college. so the priority is always him. But then I too occassionally dip into my salary to buy something. I love shopping and its real fun to be able to buy for yourself something you have wanted and waited till pay day.

yeah I usually do. That is the time I feel like is my reward for working so hard for 2 weeks. I get to pay myself with something instead of just spending it on bills.

Hell yeah I do! Haha. I feel like I'm a one day millionaire sometimes on payday even though I don't get that much. But still it's one of those days when I feel happy and I can hang out with friends and go shopping for clothes.

I don't usually go shopping when I was still working. I would just go and buy the food that I want or something that I am looking for. I would only go shopping if my supplies are running low.

hello dorothy :-) no i don't go shopping every payday because i love to save money. i am also not a compulsive shopper, always thinking if an item i am about to buy is something that i need or something that i just want. but that doesn't mean that i am stingy because i treat myself in different or less expensive way. i am also generous to my loved ones by giving them treats every now and then. i am just a wise spender, i guess

Whenever I get paid, I get excited. The week up to me getting paid, I am thinking about what I will buy myself next! Since I have no priorities and I dont really have to pay anything; no family, no kids, no rent/mortgage, no nothing, I am allowed to do what I wish with my earnings. Instead of saving it, it all gets spent. Sometimes, I will spend all of my paycheck in one day which is sad after because I see I have spent so much and regret it a little. Which is why Im very careful when going shopping. For example, if something doesnt fit PERFECTLY or I have to think, "is this worth $****?" and if the answer is no or i dont know... then I will not buy it. Otherwise, everything is up for grabs.
