We used to be on a tight budget and used our credit cards quite a bit. Now we've paid down our debt a lot and have socked away enough in savings that I feel okay. However, I do worry about saving for a house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money/page/2#post-544990 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:48:40 +0000 KissMeCait 544990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every once in a while but it's not an every day concern. There could always be more money but we're able to pay our bills, splurge on most everything that we want (within reason, of course) and save. We've done the whole young and broke thing. Never want to go back to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money/page/2#post-544983 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:45:20 +0000 tequiero21 544983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not anymore.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money/page/2#post-544956 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:37:21 +0000 HLK208 544956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We don't have ten's of thousands in savings. But, we *should* be okay. I try to go a few days a week without spending anything at all and that helps us. We do have an automatic savings so there is a tiny cushion if anything comes up. Nothing crazy that we would be able to live off of if DH lost his job though.</p> <p>We are also spenders. We always want...that's such a problem for us. Then reality hits that it would be a lot nicer to have a good savings account than materials that don't matter/don't bring me happiness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544929 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:28:15 +0000 LuLu Mom 544929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, always. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544926 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:27:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 544926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544872 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:08:07 +0000 Bookish 544872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day. Until we got pregnant, not so much. Now that I am, it is a constant worry for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544857 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:04:52 +0000 mrsjyw 544857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no not really...i do for my parents though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544849 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:01:43 +0000 Turd Ferguson 544849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

It's silly to ever worry about money! Kidding. It's a normal fact of life for most. Sucks that most aren't as fortunate as others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544832 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:57:38 +0000 LemonLong 544832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm a saver and DH is a spender so we have separate accounts. I keep a good amount in my emergency fund at all times that he can't touch :) Its enough to pay our mortgages for more than a year which makes me feel pretty secure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544826 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:55:57 +0000 pui 544826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. We are good with our money and for that we are rewarded with security! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544818 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:54:16 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 544818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: It hurts. Both my husband and I haven't really seen a good return on our education investment. So we keep on trying ... maybe eventually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544803 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:51:32 +0000 Meridian 544803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have enough to live comfortably, but I want us to be more than comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544575 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:57:00 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 544575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes. the hubs worries a whole lot more... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544564 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:54:16 +0000 mrsjazz 544564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cat in the Cradle: Yes! If I didn't have my monthly student loan payment I think I'd worry less. So, I'm assuming I will worry less about money in 20 years :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544561 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:54:04 +0000 littlek 544561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544558 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:53:07 +0000 FarmWifeGina 544558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. Yes because there's not a whole lot left after bills and necessities at the end of the month and I worry about not being able to save enough. But also no because I know exactly where our money is going every month and I know we're not being stupid with what we have, and also, I'm an eternal optimist and I figure that sooner or later, if we keep working our butts off and being frugal, we'll have more to put into savings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544501 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:41:04 +0000 MrsStormy 544501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Typically not a ton, I mean we having savings goals so I worry about hitting those quickly enough, but we have very minimal bills, just our mortgage and his car payment, I'm also a bargain shopper (just by nature) so I don't really worry, but we are in the middle of a home reno right now and in the midst of that I found out I'm pregnant, so I am currently a bit stressed about money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544291 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:36:36 +0000 pinkcupcake 544291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Living off one income can be kinda rough at times. I think it's more of a far-off worry for me... like, it seems like everything will be alright but are we really gonna be able to pay for the kids' college educations, weddings, etc, etc and still save up for retirement? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544274 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:31:00 +0000 MamaMoose 544274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. But only because I'm crazy. We are comfortable and paying our bills is never a struggle. But I freak out about things like "what if M is a genius and goes to Harvard. It'll be $60k a year by the time she starts... How am I going to save enough for that?!?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544270 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:29:56 +0000 plantains 544270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do because we are about to spend our life savings on a condo and the thought keeps me up at night, but we really don't have a choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544266 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:29:24 +0000 mediagirl 544266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every single day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544263 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:29:16 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 544263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not "real" worries but of course I don't go around spending like there is no tomorrow.<br /> I've always been used to getting what I want and money has never been an issue. That being said: I don't just buy something because everyone has it or I won't just buy something if I don't need it. For example, right now I want a fancy new washer &amp; dryer. We can totally afford it...but the ones we have are totally fine. So, i'll wait, because it is not a necessity. And when we do buy, i'll shop around like crazy first for the best price. Just because we have it does not mean I need to spend it. Because, God forbid one year we don't do so well, I want to have something cushiony to fall back on. And coming from a religious place, I feel like if I take the things He blesses me with for granted, God won't be 100% pleased with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544262 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:28:25 +0000 yin 544262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I worry but try my best not to. DH does a great job keeping track of our expenses in a spreadsheet and has the year pretty much planned out based on previous years (cost of electric, gas, mortgage, etc). Since we are living off just his income, it is difficult for me to relax and not think about money. He will let me know if we are particularly tight for a certain month (when insurance hits with other misc. bills that take out more $ in the account than usual). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544256 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:27:11 +0000 Arden 544256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, always. Every day. We are on an extremely low income right now, and it's scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544250 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:24:51 +0000 MrsTiz 544250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do right now, just because I can't seem to figure out the best way to space out bills. We make more than enough to pay for everything, but when all of my bills are in a 9 day span, it's rough. I need to hire an accountant for a day lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544208 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:10:15 +0000 autumnlove 544208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I have automatic savings set up and I keep an eye on my spending! I could always do better... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-worry-about-money#post-544179 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 12:58:39 +0000 lomom 544179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I keep an eye on my spending and adjust if I know there's going to be a not-typical expenditure coming up (like a new set of tires or a trip) but I have a pretty comfortable emergency fund. DH manages his finances separately but we both have the same outlook and goals so he does pretty much exactly what I do lol. </p>
