In an age that glorifies spend spend spend! Especially when it's shoved in your face via print, electronic and visual media...you truly have a gift. I need to learn from u
learn from her at your own risk, she might be the type that doesn't believe in the values of the maintenance habit.... After gaining a stable job as she claimed, its unreasonable to save 50K out of 60K on monthly basis unless her parent keeps financing her lifestyle expenses.

Good evening house,

Please talk to me. Please no INSULTS.

Is this a problem or obsession?

From my childhood I save money a lot, especially during those Xmas time when aunty n uncle give kids money.

Now am grown ooooo, people I still find it difficult to spend my money ooo oooo. My hard earned salary.

I drive joy in saving, saving n saving. In fact I shop for myself twice in a year. Though when am buying, I buy quality wears.

If I spend my own money, I will be angry. What sort of stupid life is this.

Even if someone gives me money, I still use it carefully.

Am not hear to earn online like.

Matured comments, please oooo.

Thanks.

Maybe i need a wife like you. infact i need a wife like you.

Secondly, i dont think its a bad idea to save a lot, the bible even says a fool will easily part with his money. As long as your money is not your "god", and you are willing to invest your money into things that yield, then you even might be on your way to big wealth.

The owner of ikea, sweedish billionaire rides home and to work in a public transport, Warren buffet eats 2 dollar meals a day (3rd richest man, richest investor). But i have not read of a man or woman who is a billionaire by spending all his money.....

Your habit has positives, so dont be so hard on yourself.

But someone have told me that is only men that should behave that way. That why am I behaving like a man.

Hmmmm I was tired with that statement. So I have to come on no to ask this question.
You obviously must have been tagged as "stingy" by a lot of friends and family. And sincerely, I think you really are. People with your kind of attributes are usually stingy.
I can only advice you to deliberately tune it down a bit, learn to set aside some amount out of your monthly income for helping out those in need especially friends and family. Cos you see, life is full of ups and down you know, you don't want to find yourself in a situation where life will take your security away from you and only then will you realise that you don't actually have anyone you can meet to help out since you were uptight with your finance when you had it in abundance.

Probably you should change your name to Monica grin

If you know me in person, dear you will respect yourself.

Am financially stable. Our last born now on his nysc have to post my picture on his fb account to appreciate me, even did mtn caller tune for me. I give out more than I give to myself.

I don't waste my hard earned salary.

Am an accounting graduate, currently in my ICAN final level. I work with my budget.

Remain Blessed.
Oh, I see now.
Accountants I heard long before I gained admission to study Business Administration in thesame faculty of management of which we shared with accounting students, that accountants are very stingy, as in "Akagum" kind of. And from my 4yrs observation as an undergraduate of the attitude of an average accounting student towards financial management. I must admit that you people are indeed very stingy. So, it's one of the attribute of an accountant.
No pun intended! cheesy

Re: I Find It Difficult To Spend Money by queenfav(f): 9:27am On Feb 14, 2017
Pls learn how to spend on yourself.. Divide your salary into portions and decide on the quantum to save, give out and splurge on yourself.. Its very important o. Life no get part two. People die daily, never miss an opportunity to pamper yourself with your money.What is the hustle for? If you can't spend the money on yourself?Abeg o, i am team #lifenobetwo #youonlyliveonce
Re: I Find It Difficult To Spend Money by fpeter(f): 9:29am On Feb 14, 2017
we need to be friends wink, I don't know how to save and it is a very big problem for me because my husband gives me money to keep and the next thing he hears from me is that the money is finished without any reasonable account. I saw a colleague of mine listing everything she had to buy in a month and working with a tight budget. I can't just seem to stick with a budget, i end up overshooting. I want my husband to be proud of me and see that when he gives me money i can save it without squandering it on clothes and accessories that are not needed.

When I want to buy things, I can go to marina with 100k n shop once or twice a year.

I derive joy in seeing my alert n money. It is well with me
Aunty pls u need a good human hair weave. It's as good as your natural hair if not better and would help you keep your hair protected.You should have a human hair weave to glam up occasionally.

This is good for you ooo..expecially in this kind of kwontry we found ourselves. The only problem u will have is when u have family, women dont like stingy men. However, if u start consuming beer, u will automatically become generous. Some guys spend as much as 100k everyday on beer and wine alone with friends and it does not borther them.

I want to have good life not to suffer or my kids to lack basic things in life when am married.

Our elder brother dropped out of school in order for us to go to school. He paid all our school fees. When I started working I took his path to uplift my father's home.

So it made me have so much responsibilities. Today we all have graduated.

I thank God am addicted to saving, it help me.

I will work to improve on spending for myself.

My immediate elder brother is just like that, in fact he can squander 1million in a day without thinking of tomorrow.

His currently owning me 200k. I have told him I will never assist him again.I now give to either our first Son or the one I senior to trade with because they pay me back though without interest ooooo.

O.p as long as you think it is a problem it basically is...saving money in cash is not the best investment..money looses value. If you said you invested it, then i would understand. If you save more than 65% of your salary for no particular reason it begins to become a problem. Donate to charity then!

Loosen up a bit. I am quite like you but i invest my cash and not just save it in the bank and watch it depreciate daily. Dont go above 65%.. Spend the rest on yourslef. Obviously there are things you must need if you think deeply.

Spending too much is a problem..same as saving too much.
please what do u invest in? am looking to invest in something tangible not all these ponzi scheme

The attribute you are showing is not strange at all, as a matter of fact it is something that is lacking in western world these days. According to stat, annual household savings in most of these countries are below 5% of total income because almost everything is obtained on credit. Can you see that your saving habit is something many people will kill to have?
The only thing I think you need to work on is feeling bad when you spend your money. I believe a way to solve that problem is to change your outlook to life generally. You don't become rich by saving, you become rich by making the money you saved works for you.
At the bolded parts, well said!
