Welcome to We Want to Know Wednesdays Q&A
Anything on myself actually is a splurge, for example, I just clicked PAY NOW for a dress and it wasn't expensive, it was $40...but since kids came around, I have a hard time spending money on myself!
{2} Tell us about your first paying job. How old were you?
My first paying job, other than the odd babysitting jobs on weekends was I guess when I was 12 and started working at a local chip truck...it was actually pretty fun!
{3} Do you plan date nights and extras into a monthly/weekly budget?
Unfortunately NOPE...my budget basically consists of just making sure my bills, loans etc are getting paid before my next pay. Any extra money is spent on whatever.
{4} Share one of your money saving tips with us.
OH LORD...can't help you there, but I will definetly be looking at what other people tell me. I am horrible with money...okay, actually not that bad but it always feels like we live pay cheque to pay cheque but we still get things we want, we pay our bills so that counts for something. I did however set up a savings account...I should start putting money into that soon...lol
And finally, Christine @ http://cmgendreau.blogspot.com wants to know:
{5} If you won the lottery - would you spend it frivolously or use what you need and save the rest? Why?
Oooohhh...I have had this planned out since I started buying lottery tickets...the first thing I would do is build a house the way we want it...I don't care what it has but I want state of the art kitchen and a hot tub LOL...the rest, I could care less...I wouldn't quit working I don't think...I would take a break and maybe do something that I actually would enjoy doing, or even volunteer. Hubby says he would buy all his "toys" - a new 4 wheeler, boat etc...obviously after the initial shock and the house plans were in process, pay off all our debt would be good too....would I share with family? LOL - I guess, I would like to say NO, I'm keeping it all to myself but if the tables were turned, I would hope that I got a cut as well. It also depends how much...we're talking winning 50 million then that is just too much for one family...but if I won only like 25,000 that wouldn't last too long!

Hey, setting up the savings account is the first step!
I like to think we'd be good with winning a lot of money, but I know we'd have fun with some of it too.
great answers. i live pay check to pay check too. i think it doesn't matter how much you make you seem to live up to whatever you have. it's not exceeding it, that is the trick.
cute new baby! congrats!
