In the current economic condition spending a lot of money is not piece of cake for everyone . One should be wise enough to working out a life style that is in budget . I was just watching this video and wondering that how many of us can plan this much to save money . What is your opinion on it , do you think its wise to be all well prepared , saving coupons , and trying to save money from every corner ? or is it little bit too much over the top ?
Re: Are you Cheap ?
Personally i am not so bothered about finances... For myself i earn a comfortable salary in fact at my age i'm among the very few young men who are in such funds... howver i work hard for them and i spare no expense for my dear ones... even if it means i must sleep on the floor i would rather have my parents sleep on memory foam.
Tis just the way... no i'm not cheap to the ones i love but i am not so extravagant for myself prefering the rugged ways, besides live rough... and for your loved ones and the needy... spend and God will send.
Re: Are you Cheap ?
I prefer to call myselfkifayat shaar (sp?) 
I save where I can and budget where I should, but I don’t count pennies (which I know is a good practice) and I don’t deny myself occasional small and very rarely large treats.
Re: Are you Cheap ?
i am tooooo much a fazool kharach person…
…i never ever tried to save any money like pocket money or watever in my life…and whenever i have money in my hands,it does not stay for more than a week no matter how much the amount is! :chiily:..and i like it that way…i feel those people are a bit weird who are always saving and counting money…
Re: Are you Cheap ?
I need to start doing so , magar barsoon key buri adaatain jatay , jatay jain gee na.
Re: Are you Cheap ?
When I run out of money, yes I tend to be cheap and I kick myself for running out of it... but then I get it I think, okay I'll get more later... its a vicious cycle.
Then again, being cheap is different for everyone. I may eat out more often than necessary but I'll be "cheap" by taking as much free ketchup/condiments/straws as I can. :)
Re: Are you Cheap ?
Some people think that when they make more money then they will be able to save to them my answer is
Paisa buchanay say buchta hay kamanay say nahi.
You can save money by saving it not by making more of it. When you make more you spend more , so start saving now , no matter what your income is.
Re: Are you Cheap ?
If by "cheap" you mean intelligent with money, yes sir I am.
Re: Are you Cheap ?

Re: Are you Cheap ?
I'm not a miser, but I'm not spendthrift either...if I know something is out of my budget I won't get it no matter how much I want it.
