why is spending money a lot easier?

Hi gamma you tend to spend more money because you want all your demands like good clothings,good food etc to be fulfilled & the value(monetary) of your demands is more than you earn thats why you think you spend much. I would suggest you to save money if you earn on Fds or any other plan on monthly basis or if you don't do job than get open your saving bank account & put all your money in to it and take out money from bank as per requirement because if you keep all money in your pocket than it will spent more easily.

I think we all had the same problem, its will be easier to spend the money and looking for it. There is time when I really want to saving but when I see something I like or stuff thats I feel a must have item, its will be bye bye saving . I usually if need something to buy and its need saving few month or a year I will not put it in bank but in my mom hand. trust me mom keep the money better than any bank . I always can use ATM to withdraw my money or use it in many merchant, but if it in my mom hand the money won't get out until the mission fulfilled . I think if I want I can spend what earn in a month in just few hour, but luckily still had my common sense until now.

I really hate spending money but I do tend to spend a lot of money on food. It does take awhile to get it back. I have found that it is better to put aside some money each month into savings so that it isnt as bad. I also earn money online so that it is easier to get the money back into my pocket. I would consider myself more of a saver though.

I absolutely agree with you, friend. It's much easier to spend money than earnings it? I don't know the reason. But this is the reality and we don't deny it. Even if we budgeted it...still money is something an that pass faster..

I couldn't help but spend money on a lot of things too specially when it makes me happy. Simple things make me happy like when I have a new bag, new clothes, new ornament for the house and food I love to eat. We're but similar :-) But I spend a lot on arts and crafts.

it's true. spending is more easier than earning cause there are lots of needs and wants. though people can control themselves from spending, sometimes we just can't help not to spend. earning is really difficult that's why we have to strive hard to earn and get money for us to have something to sustain our needs.

Yes I am the same way. I try to not even go shopping. Since it is my weakness. I have always been that way tho. And it has always gotten me into trouble. So now prefer to buy things from resale. And then I use them on my crafts. I love finding a treasure that someone has let go of. And then turning it into a gift for someone else or myself.

This also happened with me. I am also very difficult to save money. Money I have, always run out to buy food and household needs. Very difficult to set aside money, especially for the needs of my child.

Hi gamma! It is because it take less effort than making money. Activity with less effort always be a lot easier. We don't have to use more energy to think and work hard to get it. That is so easy!!! That is why spending is much easier than earning and making lot of money~ Since my income is still not in a stable state I don't easily spend my money on things that will not give me any benefits. If I have a smooth and huge income I will be just like you spend and spend and save a lot as spending too much is not okay too~

I think most people have the thought in the back of their mind that we are "making money to spend it." It's a true statement.. But we need to stop and think that does NOT mean spend it all. We always think of things we want to buy then as soon as we get money we spend every cent of it. I definitely need to stop adding things to my list of stuff to buy.

I hate spending money I feel so bad after I do. Maybe because I'm so stingy...I don;t know when it comes to money I hate letting go. But at times when I don't care well I begin spending like crazy and at the end of the day I get mad at myself. Oh well..what's the point of money if your gonna hide it away some where for a long time(that's what I always tell myself). :)

It generally doesn't happens to me, as I rarely got tempted to buy something (even the cheapest things) by just looking them, and I'm not a big buyer of anything. Rather my expenses are mostly the daily cost of food, buses, some drink and a few other things and the monthly bills from home, but rarely something else. Also I try to keep an strict control and record of each income and expense I make to keep it under control. But why is it so easy? I guess because it only depends on you! To buy something, you must have money and self-determination to go and purchase it, it's all up to you if you want it or not. But to earn money, you must sort of convince someone else to give you something, which is a whole different thing. You must either show that what you're selling is good and better than your competence or offer lower prices. But the final decision is not yours!! The same when looking for jobs or offering some service.

Money is really very easy to spend because we wanted to have a comfortable life and we wanted so much in life even though we don't need them at all. We all want a luxurious life and we people tend to really love material things indeed. Sometimes we don't save enough because we don't have control in our own money.

It all boils down to control. It is best when you put your money somewhere safe like the bank so that you may not risk it being spent easily. Develop that sense of control else you end up getting broke all the time. It is not a good feeling so you better act up wise soon. Have a good day!

The human brain has evolved over millions of years - and the basis of human greed could be the reptilian cortex part of the brain, This is what makes humans aggressive and creates the need to accumulate more and more, to be the alpha male or the alpha female, to be better than the next person. For, ultimately survival of the self as well as continuity of one's gene pool- immortality through descendants depends on possessing more - it was food and females for the reptiles. For man it is possessions that matter to oneself and one's peer's and the people in one's environment/s. This part of the brain makes us aggressive and hence you could blame our very distant ancestors - the reptiles for this urge of yours. All creatures tend to spend and try an accumulate, and so I don't think that you are very unusual. Once a person reaches a particular age and has attained experience in life, the tendency can be curbed and to a certain extent reduced. All the best!

That is a good question. Why is money easy to spend and hard to earn? Well, spending money depends upon how you handle it. If you are frugal in your spending, you will be able to keep some of your money for savings but if you are an impulsive buyer, that's how you spend money easily. Avoid going to the mall often so that you can not spend a lot. hahahaha

I absolutely agree with you, friend. Spending money is much easier than to earn it. Even if budget things, spending still unstoppable. While looking for some money is very hard...we work almost over time to find money. But when we get them...in just a little time. Money is none...

So do i. This is also one of my problems that i have to eradicate. I spent a lot of my money to those things that I called necessities, like cosmetics, deodorant, perfume, clothing, and sometimes food. When it comes to food, I don't have much problem because i always eat healthy food, except from soft drinks. I always try to spend below my means but i really can't. But I am trying not to spend much of my earnings, I usually go home right after the bat of my work. I just spend my time in front of computer. Instead, going to gym, i just go home and watch some videos about exercise. I am also trying to read a book about writing to enhance my skills in writing that I can use as a tool to get a part time job here in internet.

Friend I not like to spend more money but if necessary then I not think about anything. I like only sarees and rest of the money is saved. Because I know God will give us a problem any day so this money will help for us at that verse day. Because friend to earn money spend full month and hardworking but to spend money one day is sufficient.

Money is received for being spent. If one has more money he will spend more. if one has less he will spend less. That is economics and that is the concept of life. It happens to those who do not plan their budget. Even when people plan on account of sudden illness, accidents such things do happen.
