    Would you guys call yourself money smart? In other words, do you guys keep track of your money well? Do you tend to overspend, or even underspend (spending less then you really should be to the point of harm). How do you guys keep track of things? What do you typically spend on?

    Especially game currency. I have to hoard things and lock them up in vaults, otherwise I'll spend it all, immediately.

    I'm slightly better with real world money, and understand the fact that I don't get it very often, have a slow income, and stuff is expensive. Still, though, if I don't dump it into a bank account or something I'll probably spend it all

    Since I've discovered Paypal I've run my finances into the ground consistently. Currently I have -€45 on my Paypal and €2 on my bank account. Games and random merchandise are just too easy buy. At least I have Steam library with 150+ games and a Shokugeki no Souma calendar ;w;

    Ever since I earned some money and won some, I've kept it and hardly spent it. The only things that I've ever spent it is a things like ORAS, 3DS cover and a few other small things. That's pretty much it. I'm glad that I did that because now I've saved up quite a sum. Also I'm very picky when it comes to using my own money.

    Even when there're things that don't require my money, I still try my best to avoid the expensive stuff.

    If at all possible, I choose not to spend money. I earn, save, earn, save, earn, save. However, sometimes between earn and save is "invest". I've got (actual amount redacted) dollars invested into stock of some companies that, thanks to a healthy political movement going on in the US and around right now, and several larger and more influential companies showing unique interest in my primary invested company, is almost guaranteed to grow many times over in a few years. I'm talking I might literally be a millionaire by 2020, or at least a $100,000 -aire. Even if it doesn't work as smashingly as intended, it will still be good: nobody else does what my invested company does, and even if they do, nothing short of corporate espionage will take them down from the title of being at the forefront of this new technology.

    I just need to survive for a few more years monetarily and see where I stand after that, and my own economic finances won't matter much.
