I Still Have Way More to Learn About Spending

July 19th, 2006 at 05:33 pm

Okay so I thought I was pretty money savying and new (though did not always apply)proper spending habits, ways to save money, ways to stay out of debt, etc. etc.

Well I took this quiz to gauge my "spending habits" and low and beyond I do not know as much as I should. I scored 80 out of 100, I look at it as; room for growth and large potential to learn how to spend wisely.

Curious how you score:

Link for the quiz is at the bottom of my post at Clubmom.

Text is http://toysonsale.clubmom.com/toys_on_sale/2006/07/what_kind_of_sp.html and Link is

Love to know how you scored either on my Clubmom site or this one, which ever is the easiest for you to respond to.

Everyone here seems to be so good about their spending habits I am guessing everyone gets a 100!

    LOL! I scored 45, but, I think it's only because my answers reflect my reality (I'm trying to get out of debt, so saving isn't really my priority right now....but, I'm not charging stuff on the cc's anymore!)...In some cases I knew the "right" answer, but, in my current situation I cannot act accordingly, simply because I'm not "there" yet!

    I got 70 but that was just because of how some of the questions were worded. Well I mean the answers at least. For example, the one about paying the bills. I don't have it set up to automatically come out of my account for everything because I like to have some control over it. But I do pay things online and usually a little more than the minimum. There wasn't an option for that.

    I scored 85...not a matter of not "knowing" the preferred answers but answering honestly.

    Thank you Dido! I love that statement.

    I got a lot of negative feedback about the quiz at my clubmom site and frankly I didn't get. I looked over the quiz and felt that it just gave people some different approaches about spending their money and would get people thinking about their own spending habits. I wonder if people are just not either reading the questions through or they are trying to put the answer they think it shoud be. I don't know?

    Or the people who are scoring low are just not being honest with themselves about their spending habits. Seems like nobody likes to be told the truth.

    I am on the bottom of the pole my score was 30; I know I am a much better spender by 50% since last year. But I agree with miclason.
