In India people mostly save! That is why most Indians in US are quite rich as compared to most locals as they meticulously plan their savings! Since I am also an Indian I do believe in savings for the rainy days! Thanks!

@Ants79 , Yes you can say that, plus non availability of social securities are also factors making one to save under duress! Thanks!

I was trying to pay off my mortgage and I found debt free screams on YouTube. I found out about the man that arranged these and his name is Dave Ramsey. I am getting better at saving money because I like regular saving accounts. Right now I am saving for my emergency savings for a rainy day and for a specific purpose which is buy a new front door. I have saving jars for my children to encourage them to save.

I'm terribly good at saving. I'm in my early 20's and I just realized the importance of saving and investing. I am now afraid of spending too much on anything.

I am slowly starting to save a bit. It's something that I've started doing recently.

I was always careful with money after I got into trouble with the way I handled it and a bank manager gave me some tips.

I don’t get to save till recently. So I make up for the loss time by actively investing out the items I saved

I have always been a saver. As Ben Franklin said, "A penny saved is a penny earned." Unfortunately, we need to spend some of those pennies on necessary items, lol.

I have always been a savor, even when it was only a little bit each month. I save a certain amount first thing each month, then I can pay bills. Any thing left over I can spend how ever I want.
