So how many people are frugal with their money, and how many people’s wallets spring out at the sight of anything they like?

Don’t be shy now

There is always a war between price tag and degree of my likeness for that thing.

Re: $$$$

i think i am fairly good at balancing both..

This is how I have broken down my saving vs spending:

Always put 50% of paycheque in savings
Rest 40% goes for rent, car, insurance, grocery, loan repayments etc...
10% goes towards my "gadget" purchase..

now usually 10% isn't that big amount to buy something a little more expensive.. like xbox or ipod.. (forexample).. so what i do then is if i really urgently need that stuff then I pickup a contract work usually worth good amount so that i can buy that gadget .. and put that 10% that i had originally put aside for the "gadget" budget into my savings..

so far i have been to do this..lekin shaadi kay baad kiya hota hai? Allah hi jaanta hai...
