Are you good at saving money up?

[Mint]

I've been saving non stop for a year now, I withdrew my money a couple of days ago because I had reached 4k. My parents convinced me to put it back and carry on saving so that's what I'm probably going to have to do. I've always been good at saving money up and I don't understand people that just can't do it. Can you save up?

no i cant save anything lol. gotta spend!!

I can somewhat yes, but I can sometimes be quite stingy with my cash. If I have, for example, £1500 in the bank, I wouldn't wanna go below a grand.

I can if I need to. I just save it then when I see something I want just buy it if I've got enough.

It's easy to blow a lot of money on a day out if you actually have all the money with you. The way to do it is try to estimate how much you will need and bring an extra tenner on top of that just in case. £4,000 isn't actually a lot when you've been saving up for a year. It's a tenner a day when people work for around £6 an hour like 8 hours a day. I'm hoping not to spend 1 penny of it and carry on saving up for another year.

i did have like 1500 and 750 in shares so like 2250 but then bradford and bingley (w/e) went back so i lost my 750 in shares -cries. then i got made redundant from work. then i went shopping, got a car, insurance, tax etccccccccccccccccccc. got like 400 now lol.

yeah, i only spend it if i really want something. otherwise i think 'do i really need this?' and if not, i dont spend. money just accumulates in my wallet as i get paid weekly and it just builds up over time.
