Me and money don't get along
30DBC: "Are you responsible with your money? Is managing your finances easy for you, or challenging? Do you ever splurge and buy something you can’t afford?"

Okay now ...

Are you responsible with your money?

No and Yes.

I wasn't and didn't save for a rainy day. Lost everything. Now I do. I live far below my means.

Is managing your finances easy for you, or challenging?

No and Yes, but...

No, because I keep it simple. My rent includes utilities. I don't have a car or cable. I pay everything by debit card or cash. But... I still stress over the unexpected. Buying a plane ticket is nerve-wracking.

Do you ever splurge and buy something you can’t afford?

Yes and No.

I did once ... bought an old house. The upkeep ... *Worry* Now? I splurged and bought a can of cashews a couple days ago. All gone. *Bigsmile*

Me and money don't get along. Our relationship is complicated. Having more-than-enough at one time yet penniless as a child and when I was homeless makes this prompt a field of landmines I have to delicately cross.
