    I'm shocking. I can't save for s---. I still somehow manage to live paycheck to paycheck. I think I need a deadline to give me the inspiration to save or I need it simply taken away from me. However other people I know are great savers. I s---.

    I'm not very good at it either. I don't impulse buy as much as I used to, but I can still be bad for it somedays.

    I'm suppose to be saving for a car, and I just dropped like $70 on this bundle, marking the first time I've ever bought a physical copy of an album.

    Really? I'm 21. I don't remember starting to download until I was about 11 or 12 maybe. Before that I'd bought physicals. Did you get into music late or did you just know how to download? Cos I wasn't really aware of it until that age ha.

    I've had a computer in my home from the time I was like 6, and I very clearly remember using Napster back when it was a thing. I've always downloaded.

    Oh yeah Napster! Yeah my parents wouldn't let me use that they were too scared of viruses. There was also kazaa I remember. I just wasn't savvy enough. I bought cds until I was about 13. I downloaded the odd song here and there but albums I started downloadin albums around 13.

    I'm a student, so my cash is like a Big Foot - nobody sees it, even me sometimes.
    But if I have it, I can't save it too

    I'm a student and I still find myself spending more than I should. I am terrible at saving.

    I'm can be pretty good. I am a cheapskate though so it makes saving easier. Budgets are key for me to be able to save.

    I go through stages. Sometimes I save loads, sometimes I spend loads.

    We are trying to save for a house so need to put away as much as possible. Don't like telling myself I can't have something if I want it though.

    I invest 10% of my paychecks back into the company I work for, and they give me 33% on the first 6%. I'm saving that money for a down payment on a house, would like to get one next year. It's easy to save money that you don't see in your bank account. Between that, the monthly bills and my truck payment, I still manage to save some money for the snowmobile I want to get before winter. I guess I'm not bad.
