This is kind of strange to ask, but do you get more excited spending money or saving it? It seems to me that everytime I deposit money in the bank, I enjoy the feeling of knowing that my money is there. That way I can build up on my savings, getting even bigger things in the future.
Whereas, with spending money, I feel a little bit sad knowing that the money is somehow gone. I am happy I bough whatever it is I need, but I am constantly thinking about what I could have used that money for...
All about money...

Yep. I'm a saver. My nickname in my family is Alex Keaton. ^^ That should tell you something right there.
I agree. Saving money is much more rewarding than spending it. I've found that whenever I splurge on a meaningless item, I end up forgetting it about a week later. I'm like "Where'd that money go? Gah."

I'm funny that way - I love and hate spending money at the same time. If you put me on a trip or something where I have a limited amount of money and no means of getting more, I'm VERY careful with what I spend. XD; But when I'm at home I usually just do whatever with my money.
My friends hate shopping with me - I always end up going in and out of stores mulling over one thing I want to buy, usually making them go back with me several different times before I decide I'm not going to get it, walk out the door, turn right back around, and get it. Or sometimes I do the opposite - make it up to the cashier, then turn around and put it back. =) Go me.

This would explain why I didn't buy anything at AX
But I save simply because I don't have a regular source of income.

saving.. I go "Yah I got 60 bucks!"
"I want to buy this.... but I'll loose money T_T"
that's what goes through my mind

I love spending money, but I hate not having it. It's a love/hate relationship.
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

I save before spending, but I don't always save as much as I should.

When I have 20 bucks, I'll generally spend it very easily, but if I have some more substantial amount, little but the jaws of death can wrestle it away from me. I guess I'm just weird that way.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Hmm... Neither myself nor my wife are very into the "must have the latest toys" mentality - and neither of us like to shop. I'll spend hours at frys (local electronics super store) and not buy anything. On the other hand, there are certain projects that I'll spend a fairly decent ammount on. I've got a 30" LCD television with a mac mini and playstation. Everything I need for audio/video/games (including a digital a/v recorder!) I've also wired the whole house for gigabit ethernet, so it's more of a question of what's important.
I've heard some great saving advice. For those of you that haven't heard it, I'll include it here. It's called the 80-10-10 rule. When you get a check, set aside 80% for you to live on. Then set aside 10% for tithe and 10% for savings. If you start it when you are young enough, you wont have to worry so much about getting into money trouble later.

I'm one of the people that firmly believes that money isn't worth anything unless you spend it. Needless to say, the saying about a fool and his money is certainly true in my case. -.-
