Are you sensible with money?

[Sharon]

I've just finished calculating how much I've spent over the past 16 months of my own earned money (my mum and dad don't actually ever give me money... ever) and it's come to roughly £4260 give or take a couple of hundred on days I skived work. Honestly I don't know what to say to myself lol I'm just ashamed idk

It's gone on clothes and just absolute **** (mostly food) and make up I don't actually use because I don't wear it :S

To be fair, I did buy a new TV and my bed but idk can't think how to justify this to anyone I can't be trusted with my own money

I am terrible at money and i always manage to lose track of how i spend it and its safe to say ive probably spent nearly five grand this year alone and im not too ******* sure how. I need to get so much better and ive legit promised myself starting tomorrow (pay dayyy) im going to try bloody hard.

it is a shame how much i easily waste sigh

[scottish]

For the most part yes.

Yeah I'm really good with money, but generally there's nothing I really want to buy. I should earn around £4800 a year (lol how rubbish), and I have around £1000 in my bank account. Over the year I've bought a Wii U, a new laptop, tonnes of games, presents and I've been on holiday too - although £3000 might seem a lot, I've got a lot to show for it too. Plus I spent a bit too much on people for Christmas .

I also give money to m parents if they need it/pay board etc.

I've been working for 6 years and have probs blown in excess of 80k on sex, drugs rock and roll. Haven't put any money towards a house.. Nothing lol. Only thing I've ever paid towards is phone bill. Nothing to be proud of when I look back.

[Inseriousity.]

im good with money in some ways cos i can make money last a long time. for instance i last got paid in may and im still living off that. on the other hand what I do spend it on is mostly junk food (chocolate, mcdonalds, coke) and the odd day out or cinema trip here and there so it lasts me a long time cos that stuff is pretty cheap but got nothing to show for it when it has gone.

I'm alright. I know when to save but i have spent a lot of money on clothes this year, as i never seem to have anything good. so like every new season it seems to be me buying stuff to fit the weather. i did buy a new bed too but that was pretty cheap.

i've got a savings account though, and i've got £500 or something to put into driving lessons when i book them.

i'm having to save atm for when i go off to LA, so that's encouraging me to be better

I'm great because I have hardly any money so I always have to make it last as long as possible
