Re: saving passé?

I've never had much to save. I'm a bit better off now, but spend as i get. And it's great . No pockets in a shroud.

Divorce tends to decimate the savings pot and I spend more than I get as my state pension has been nicked - no doubt to finance MP's expenses!!!

So savings diminishing all the time...........

Being widowed doesn't hurt the coffers either

Re: saving passé?

It depends who you talk to, I guess. I am a tightwad according to my boyfriend. For instance, my tv from the 1990's still works, and I won't get rid of it. My old car still runs with minor repairs, .... this list goes on.

I just can't justify extra spending. Here's the thing. Guess who has a few dollars tucked away and guess who has no savings at all.
