Are you thrifty? What is thrifty?:-)

My mother taught us to be thrifty so i'm used to be satisfied of what I have most of the time. We should always be aware of our needs and want because most of the time people gets broke due to buying all this stuff because they want it not because they need it. I always see people putting their stuff in the garage or just in the corner some useful things, so if they are just thrifty they might end up saving more money than wasting some stuff in the corner.

I have been a practical spender since grade school. My parents were really impressed with how I handle money at such young age. They even borrow money from during those days (well, not that much though). Until now, I have my own family and kids, I usually prioritize first all of our needs before spending on the "wants". Although sometimes I splurge on things for my kids especially if we bring them to malls but I see to it that we only spend within our means and still save for the rainy days.

Spending for what is needed and avoiding "UNNECESSARY",expenditure is:- being THRIFTY.

I started to be wise economically when I enrolled myself into highschool.My parents started to advice me on budgets and financial management and they also stopped buying me things like clothes and school needs.At first,it is quite tough but I managed to cope.I think being wise financially is a must for everyone to avoid any financial problems in the upcoming years.

Hi there,thrifty means to me a wise, and practical way of spending hard money in a valuable and necessary things in your present situation. Why I said that? Because most of us spending money to purchase something un-necessary today that you can use it later.. (not good). Be resourceful and wisely of spending like purchasing too high prices of CP (like ipod, kindle and other gadget) which your purpose only is to have communicate with your family for example... Purchasing lucurious things (like watch, sunglass and others) for yourself (for the purpose of fashion).... be wise... see you around

hi, I started being thrifty from thirty(age) onwards by that I suffered huge losses and went bankrupt. So it is good that you have become wise early and Saving is one great quality every one should accumulate to prevent future unforeseen financial disasters. I dint had this type of mindset when I was in 20s till I had a big financial disaster, even after 5 years I still couldn't come back to normal and struggling.But I am very sure I will come back soon to life,since i have a better view regarding money now. Good Luck to you Calpro

being thrifty means that you watch your money, budget how you spend it and spend it wisely plus only buy things you really need.

hi prime I had to become thrifty when I came here to Gold crest as they take almost all of my Social Security and SSI checks each month tp pay the rent and boar, leaving me with one hundred twenty five dollars for my for my personal needs. hence I have lifeline telephone service for just 8 or 9 dollars a month and I mylot to make as much of the money for my internet bill as I can by myloltting a LOT. j

i guess i was always thrifty you know because it runs im my family.

I worry about money when I need to. That is, I have learned to live with a small budget after I became a widow. It became smaller when I retired. Still I wanted to live well so I devised a way of doing it. I like to travel so I stopped smoking (I had been smoking for around 50 years). I save every penny I can, use all leftovers and nothing is lost at home.

hello bro, That's good for you at least you know how to value every cents that you've earned. I started being thrifty and implemented cost cutting in my budget when my bank account was hacked (i lost a not so big amount of money uh uh...) After that bad experienced i started thinking that,i need to cut our expenses. At first it was a bit hard since i was used to our monthly expenses like spending this amount of XXXXX. Gradually i learned to lists the least priority not to include in our monthly expenses. Now it's a great help,i was able to cut our expenses to 20% per month,from our electric bills to water bills. Have a great weekend dear bro

Hello Prime. I have never been a big spender. Why waste anything? I only buy what i need not what i think i might need. TATA.

I used to be very careless with my money. Buying things that I do not need. But nowadays, I set myself a budget and I try to spend within it. While I means I could not buy things which I fancy, but it means I have more cash in hand. This is something which I prefer now.

Being thrifty isn't a bad thing. People all over the world like to save their money when buying household items. For a box of cereal, there are people who skip buying brand name and opt for buying store name or generic versions of the cereal. Over time such savings of 50 cents spread across for many purchase adds up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. My friend, what you are doing is wise, as you will never regret the money that will still be in your account because of it.

There is nothing erroneous with being concerned about your financial futures and doing everything you can to save money. If you don't look out for yourselves, who will? Be thrifty! Save every penny you can! You will be delighted you did!
