    It depends on the situation. If the cash flow is ok, I spend money, if the cash flow is less, I save. :)

    I've saved up just over 4,000 pounds in the last 5 months for a new car.

    When i've got the car i'm going to start saving for a few years ready for when I move out of my house and get my own place.

    Only spend on the necessities, but don't consciously save.

    I save money in bank savings, fixed deposits and life insurance.

    I save when I can and invest it to ultimately have enough passive income to live off.

    Good to see you save! But do you take loans to buy something like car or home?

    I save it all. Instead of a soda drink, preferable is to save that 1 US.
    Extinguish that soda for 200 times a year, and soon you will be earning more from interest than you earned by just cutting out the soda from the beginning. So fascinating..

    The more you save, the more interest will you get and the sooner will you get rich.

    I maintain a fine balance between saving and spending. I am neither a heavy spender nor very miser! :rolleyes:

    Well, I don't save at this time. :)
    My age doesn't allows me.
    But I will surely save for future after 5 years.

    I always think that earning more is better than saving. Yet earning more is way too harder than just saving money. That's why every time I spend money I always think if it is a NEED or a NEED but it can wait or it's just purely a luxury WANT.

    So if it's a NEED then I have no CHOICE. So if I got NO MONEY then I really need to earn or barrow some money from others.
    If ever it's a NEED but it can wait, then if I have a little extra money then GO! Other wise I buy it later if I get some little extra CASH.
    Then if it's just a WANT then if I got no BIG Extra MONEY then it's a BIG NO! Meaning I only buy on my WANTS if I got BIG Extra MONEY.
