The question of the day:  Are you a spender or a saver?  I’ve been both.  During my first marriage, I was a spender.  Maybe not entirely, but I don’t remember being particularly worried about money.  I bought what I wanted without thinking much about it.  That changed, though, when I became single.  Being single for ten years taught me to be a saver.  There’s nothing like being solely responsible for mortgages, insurance, loans, bills and other responsibilities to learn quickly to change a spender into a saver.  I started listening to a radio money show and started following its thrifty advice.  Now, I’m married again, and my saving habits from my single years have carried over.  The best advice I could anyone is to make a budget and stick to it which ends up seeming like you got a raise.
