Faheema. Posted August 17, 2005 There is a difference between Lexejeclo and being darn right stingy. So I say give a small % of your monthly income to charity (you’ll get more Ajar if it’s close relative). That way Lacagtaadu way kuu barakoobi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shyhem Posted August 18, 2005 Funny how this ladies are guning for the brothers money,they talk about charities,what they really wanted to say is "be a nice guy and buy the ladies in u'r life some gucci eyewear with expensive trendy jean brands such as Seven for all Mankind, True Religion, Rock 'N Republic, Blue Cult and Citizens of Humanity costing in the $200 range". If u want to save money, just run whenever u see a pretty women coz pretty much soon she will cost a date here and a date there and u could easily spend $100 in one weekend, surely not the way u'r mum expected u to save u'r pennies otherwise forget about saving, just hustle and flow with the ladies and let the overdraft protection take care of business.

Miriam1 Posted August 18, 2005 I have two beliefs when it comes to money ONE! --Be smart, when it comes to work, always be ready to leave and run , when a better position comes up with more money....(never understood people who work in Zellers for years!? omg!) ^ that is more appropraite for univ students..if u have career..stick to it...unless you have some damn great invention in mind! TWO! ---Its advisable to have a savings account(kinda looks good, makes you sound responsible) BUT always remember that money is meant to be spent! If you have $200 extra to spend...go ahead and buy that pair of shoes you have been eyeing...LIFE IS SHORT!.. Money...comes and goes... unless you win the lottery..

Bess. Posted August 19, 2005 LOL...strongly believe in budgeting...balancing check book...make a list of what I need...like food and shoes...and save the rest...I think the best way to deal with money is to prioritize...and know what ur limits are...don't go to the mall for any reason if u know u can't afford it...instead of eating out ...have a potluck dinner with friends and be creative with a few bucks...that way when u want to get that special shoe ...u can afford to get it...ohhh what a feeling ...and when u want to treat someone to a special ...u can make it extra special cause u can afford it....PRIORITIZing between the needs and wants...and u can be happy with ur money....it works for me...

Shirwac Posted August 22, 2005 I was never called stingy...this is the first. I do give to charities - Zakat, qaaraan and qaraabo, the 65% I spend covers all of that. Saving 35% of your income is being modest. I work very hard for, and I hate when I spend my hard earned on BS. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy life, I shop, I hang out, go on vacation...but always on a budget. I never spend more than I plan. I shop for cloth twice a year, I buy the summer cloth in the winter, and the winter cloth in the summer and they are always on sell. Maybe after I graduate I'll buy cloth like the normal people do. As far as the dates. Most of the people I date are the intellectual type, so I cook for them, take them to the zoo and the museam. I know some Faarx's at the movies so getting in is always free, and most entertainments we get there before 10PM no cover. Let's say I'm very careful with my money, that is better than stingy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
