Bsically, I am a spender. but not really sometimes. if I stroll in a store, and when I see some new digital productions like mp3, mp4, huge moble disk, I just can't help buying them, the similiar case always happens when I see pretty, fashional clothes. however, if the stuff is beyond my economic ability, I would stop.

spender and spender!! sometimes I spend too much money and become a waster. I'm a student, so I can't earn enough money to live by myself. I have to take money from my parents every weekends Crying or Very sad and I usually ask more for the necessary amount of money. I said to myself that I have to economize but I can't. When I meet a close friend who we didn't get in tough for a long time, I can't invite him go out for drink. when I go go to a tea shop, I always pay for the drink Rolling Eyes

if you can earn money yourself in the future, I believe you would love to invite your friends to dinner. because you are so sweet and enthusiastic.

yes, of course. my mother often say to me:"son! you 're so young that you don't know exactly the value of money and labour for earning money. when you can live on your own hands, you will know". I think perhaps my mother is right. But I can't stop spending money. i don't want to let money diminish my true self. I have some friends, when they go out for drink with me, and they never pay for anything. they come to the salesclecker table slowly, with affected manners Laughing Laughing I hate them!!in my eyes, they 're so mean, so stupid. certainly, I wil pay for all.in the case, I lose my wallet at home, I will say: you pay for me this time, next to my turn. Rolling Eyes

I have the exactly similar personality as you do! and the same experiences as yours! yeah, some people are very mean with money! but for me, if I can't afford dinner or drinking, I won't take part in it, I never count on other people to pay for what I eat or drink.

at school,some mornings we have experiments for lessons and we have to continue learning at afternoon. So we have lunch at school. And everyone pay their parts. I think it's a good way.

Money is most important.
That is why we live.

I used to be a SPENDER Very Happy Whenever I went to shopping with mom, I bought every clothes that looks good on me.
But I change to a ECONOMIZER Razz Recently,I don't like shopping very much. It's not fun at all.
Since I'm living in a dormitary this year and I sometimes get money from my parents. I really appreciate my parents for letting me to go to university and giving my a opportunity to live in a dorm for a year.
Here is tip for become a ECONOMIZER:
★By eating out less, I can economize and save more.(This will help you on diet,too)

Love isn't as important as money!
If you have money, you can definitely attract love.
But if you have love, you can't attract money so much.
