Hahahaha! This topic just popped into my head right now and it seems like I want to share it with you. When I have money, I can't control myself from buying the things I want. I'll buy this, I'll buy that... However the funny thing about me is that when I noticed that my money is already diminishing (watta term! LOL), I start to ask myself, where's my money? where did they go? hahaha! I know it's weird but I can't help myself asking "Where's my money?". I'm wondering where are they now, why do I have this small amount of money right now. LOL
Have you ever experienced it, too? :)

Oh no all your money went away LOL. I also get like this I sometimes spend my money with out noticing it. Now a days though I always see how much I'm going to spend and I make sure that I don't go over the limit too. Shopping is lots of fun though it can be addicting. We all love to shop it's fun!!!!!!

you only have to develop the habit of saving your money from diminishing very fast.
You must think of the times where did not have any money if you start thinking this way, your mind will say not to spend more money

Hi Kyel! I also have the same problem too, when I have money I bought everything I want though some things are not useful to me, i had this one-day-millionaire mantality and it really sucks. When Ive got out of money, I have this feeling of regret why I did those thing and felt so stupid. I am also wondering when did my money go and it just seems to be slipped in my hands.

I am trying very hard to save money. I am currently unemployed and my husband is working part-time and we need to save as much money as possible because we need to do some home improvements. Our back deck is falling apart to the extent where we have had some stray animals living under the house. I am trying to make extra money so I can put it aside for the deck. I am looking into a couple of writing sites so I can get money by writing. I am an English minor and would love to use my skills.

BOY have I been there!!! I was working for someone who paid me 1500 a month and when i got the money the first thing I did was spend it! It was like a golden fountain for me. And just like you I lost a great amount of money and then I would be like What the world? Where'd it go? So honestly if you want a way to save some money only buy the necessities! HEHEE! It's good to have money but just spending it all in one day is really bad!!!

I have that problem too. That's why whenever I have some money, I immediately put it in the bank. I can't trust myself to not use it if I keep it in my wallet. If I have money in my wallet, no matter how much, after I go out with friends, it would be all gone! So now my wallet will never have more than ten dollars to help me save up

I have experienced this several times before reaching a conclusion that whatever the amount of money I have I will live the normal life as if I don't have surplus.

I know so many people like that, including my boyfriend, but what you have to do is set up a budget, after you pay all your bills set one part for savings and another to you monthly expenses and stick with it. I know it is hard, but you can do it

Yeah i have had days where i went like, you where'd my money go. But now adays i just try to save as much as i can (its not alot but its a start from the usual spending i do) and put it to a goal, like a new computer, video game etc. This sort of thing helps me save my money up for something i really want. After all my parents provide all of my need =P.

Sometimes I'll feel like I should have more money. It feels like I work really hard to accumulate it, and before I know it it's gone for groceries or bills or random things we need.

reading your discussion reminds me of one time. me and my wife (we dont yet have our baby boy back then). we are expecting a big amount of money so the money we have at hand we spend it by going out and shopping. buy this buy that. unfortunately the money we are expecting will not be transferred at once to my bank account. although we got that money it all went to bills for we are so late already on paying electricity and other bills. it was funny. its a different situation of asking where's my money but still i did asked that question too.

happened to me a lot of times already...
before when i go out i used to bring cash, then would be spending on things that i actually dont need... after that day i'd think where my money went, then i dtry to remember each and every single thing i spent my money on and list them down, get the total and say to myself... i spent all that!? 
... lol
these days when i go out i make sure i dont have that much cash in my wallet, and make sure that whenever i buy something i pay using a debit card... at least when there are places that dont accept cards as payment i can say i am safe...

I sometimes experienced it too. I bought somethings, and then I didn't realize what I was doing. Normally, if that's happening, I will start writing back what I was spending. At that time, I will start giving value of what I just bought, is it really worth it for now, this condition and for this price. I think you can start writing what you have bought, so at least you will know exactly where was your money gone to.

Many girls are just like you. They want buy anything especially fashion. You should try to save your money even for a little bit. You may open bank account to save your money. Saving money is an habit. If you always do it, it will be your habit. Saving money is good habit. Why don't you love good habit?

yup! I too experiencing the same.. i cant control myself in spending money. I will buy everything I wish and later I will sit and I think 'why I am spending like this? I shouldn't do it for next time'. But next time when I went to shop I forgot everything and purchase as I wish. Again after coming home and began to think 'why I am........'. It still continues. :)
