Oh, I budget down to my last dollar! It sucks sometimes, but I have to do it to achieve my financial goals!

I try to budget but Lee doesn't so I guess we just throw caution to the wind....

aww, well we have a budget account for all matters boring then everything else we can spend, spend, spend so I guess a bit of both

I budget but my husband always throws it to the wind.

I'm bad at budgeting, but mostly cuz it seems the cats run me outta money. Well, I guess my entire budget goes to the cats.

A little bit of both.

I try to budget, but if it's something I really want I usually give in and throw caution to the wind.

Budget-y I blew over £30 on B-day and Mothers day presents last weekend, which is very rare for me.

Budget, whats that?!?! LOL!!

Actually DH does try and budget, but I dont. So I guess its caution to the wind(if ya ask him)

I budget, but then those trips to Target or the grocery store for 1 or 2 items turn into 20 items I don't go shopping that much because of this

I'm a little bit of both- but i NEVER buy things i do not have money to spare on. I ALWAYS make it a habit each time i cash my paycheck to immediately put some in savings (PayYourselfFirst) so i won't be tempted to spend it. Then i sort out what i need for the week - gas, groceries, pet supplies, bills, things like that. If i have any left over- that is my spending money- so that's what i use if i want to treat myself. My system works for me Colin is also a big saver as well- we want to do our best to keep ourselves out of debt and in good financial standings. It's really important to me- i saw my mom and aunt struggle as single mom's our whole lives. It's a hard life but they did the best they could. My mom busted her butt to put me in private school and get me a good education. So being a wise steward of my money to me is very important. I'm saving up to start my own flower shop

I have to be budget conscious - DH treats money like it is something evil to be disposed of asap!!!

We don't budget, but we need to start. Once I get a job, we are going to start and (hopefully) stick to it.

I am very budget conscious

I am a NON Spender... Dh on the other hand... He's a spender... I do pretty good and keeping things under control most of the time though!

I try to budget for the most part.But, if there is something that we need or want and it wasn't in the budget, then I throw caution to the wind and go for it.

Budget for the most part.
