Are you someone who likes bigger, better and more, which tends to lead to over paying for something? Or are you someone who likes to measure what you exactly need and require, making the payment not a penny more?
I'm poor having only a part-time job, so I pay the smallest portion I can make. I've been eating at home a lot more often than I used to and I use the rest of the money mainly on bills, doctors, and medication. When I get a little extra, I may splurge and buy something I want, but I don't go overboard and buy anything over $100 unless it's much-needed like a new smartphone, laptop, or car. Those are the primary luxuries of my life.
I prefer to figure out exactly what I need. I like getting the best value for my money and only paying for what’s important. This helps me avoid spending too much!
I figured out a while back that almost every price is negotiable. Walmart, hotels and motels, of course cars, etc. It's not that I'm a cheap bastard. Maybe. But if I see opportunity, I try for it. It's a practiced skill.
But some things I know i need bad enough then the price is the price.
