Earning money itself is difficult not to some but many,this is what I have studied.So to this category of people money is of great value. How do you manage your money spending. You let loose it or cautiously handle - because once money is spent you will not get it back. [b] Please share your valuable thoughts....[/b]

I think personally unless you are brought up in a Good home where handling and being able to Budget and manage money, this is something that a lot of people have troubles with, and unsure how to Budget and learn to scrimp, plan and save and do with what they have until they can save up for better. For me, it did take some time as there was a time in my life where I was careless, and could have been without. But then with the help of others, god, and getting older I have learned how important money is, and learning that there are other ways to also earn some extra $$ when you really want something more special out there as well.

It is great to know you have learn t many good things from yo0ur own experiences of handling money.Yes that is true that one must be brought up in the atmosphere of savings - but many families do not concentrate on this aspect. I feel it is an individuals choice for learning to save and it is always good to save. Thanks for your kind response.;

For the most part, I am careful with what I purchase. There is one question that I ask when I consider making a purchase. "Is this something that I really need?" If there is any confusion on the answer, there might not be something that I really should be buying. Some people lose a lot of money and room from their pocket, when they make a lot of impulse buys. Trust me, it is very easy to see something that catches your eye and buys them. Most of the time, everything that I buy is something that I need. Every now and again, I might by something as a treat to myself. However, you got to choose wisely and those things should be few and far between. Keeping a close watch on money and trying to choose what you need to spend extremely carefully. I know that I really carefully consider everything that I buy.

You are right - in the stream of purchasing it is easy to get attracted that pleases but taking a few minutes and judging weather this item is really useful to us is more beneficial than spending money on it and then thinking. Your thoughts are very much appreciable. Your approach on buying is just a streamlined one and have good planning which makes life really qualitative. Thanks for your kind response.....

I certainly make sure that the thing I am spending money for is one hundred percent justified. Otherwise, I would not spend a cent. For instance, I would not buy things for the house which are not really needed in the house. That has been my habit since the time I had to manage my own budget,

I try to get ahead of all of my bills,aswell as get loads of shopping in,then i work out how much money i have left.The money that i have left i save,or buy gifts for people that are in a sale,as that way i have all the things that i need.The way i see it is that you never know what is around the next corner,something may break and you may need to buy a new item.

OK - buying things vary from person to person - yes I do understand that and sometimes spontaneously we purchase I also understand this. But at the same time we have to make our plans to purchase and also to save because saving money is a good-habit.

Once I received my income from any source I have a percentage or allotment for every category. 10% goes to tithes, 5% goes to my own pocket, 10% for my long-term savings fund, 10% give or donation, 40% cost of living, 10% fun and recreation, 15% others.... This is how I allocate my cash inflows.
