The title kinda leads you on the way:
How are you with money?
Are you always saving, and never buying anything? Making sure that if you ever need money, you are safe and sound? Kinda greedy perhaps? (Scrooge)
Or are you just enjoying all the wonders of the world, by blowing your money off on some stupid piece of garbage? Kinda hoping that everything will turn out alright in the end? (Donald)

I can tell you that I am BIG TIME Donald Duck. I can't save money. There are too many good things out there, and I need to own them! Although I wish that I had money in case of imergency, I really can't deal with the whole saving thing. I can have a bunch of money on my account for a few days, but then I fins/spot something that I absolutely must have and own, or it would be the end of the world as we know it!
 
erm i wish i was a scrooge,

Click to expand...

I get a lot of those I-mergencies. I must have this piece of Apple porn, I really need a new pair of boots, I need another Mulberry handbag..... the list goes on 😉

Deffo a Donald. WHich isn't great on part time wages with expensive tastes!
 
I think i'm a scrooge, but a nice scrooge. Rarely buy stuff for myself. I'm a really good saver. But i'm from a big family. So i do spoil them, go a bit over board on birthdays and xmas. But it's a good feeling. This xmas, presents for 2 bro's, 3 sisters, Brother in Law, Sister in law, 2 nieces, one nephew, dadio, and my girlfriend. 12 presents, cant wait 🙂
 
I'm actually Gizmo Duck, painstakingly plotting my money expenditure to build further butt-kicking modifications.

Seriously, I'm not a tightwad and I'm not a money burner. I buy what I need and to some extent what my family wants, but I can say no and budget,

hence the buttock mounted null-cannon defabricator ray.
 
Oh, I'm definately a Scrooge McDuck. I hate spending money, but I tend to do it on expensive things and in big chunks. So, I definately don't just fritter it away. I like seeing big numbers that aren't red on my bank statement.
 
I'm Donald Duck, only I don't talk like him, I wish I did though, you know what, I bet if I tried hard enough I could talk like him..Anyway, yeah, I spend any money I have on haha silly stuff, like alcohol, and drugs, and bags and jewellary. Like today, I spent £30 in the pub when said, "Oh, we'll just pop in for 1 drink.." I HATE MONEY!! It involves waaaaay too much effort.
 
I'm a Scrooge. Lately, I'm not doing so well on the whole saving thing and am kind of skimping by, but I hardly ever spend money on myself or for anything fun or excessive. The fact that it is out-of-budget robs me of its joy. I sort of obsess over money and budgets and making sure that I have a rainy day fund.
 
I am both, I play it very naughty if it comes to money. I get monthly money (not enough imo), but I still try to save it and make my mum buy the thing I want of HER money.
 
^I tried that too, but it doesn't work when you are 17 and actually have more than enough money... It's just that I spend them on things.. I need things! Things are my thing!
 
I'm a Scrooge and a Donald duck. Money is tight at the moment so I like to save, and have several savings accounts with money stashed away for a rainy day. But on the other hand, all the money in my current account just gets Donald ducked away. I do like to buy expensive things, even though they're probably no better than the cheaper version! And if I want something, I will get it without even thinking about it.

Thing is, if I don't have the money for something, I won't buy it. I don't have a credit card for that exact reason, I live off my current account, and if I need to, I take money out of my savings accounts. So I guess I am both a Scrooge and a Donald Duck. A Donald Duck to myself, and friends, but a Scrooge to banks trying to weedle money out of me lol.
 
Im half and half really I save my money as much possible then spend it on something I know will be really worthwhile like a holiday. But I do splurge on myself occasionally I have this month but only on things I know I really want and need I know people just buy for the sake it and it puts me off going that way.
 
Im a donal always spending money the second I get it. That is untill now because as of this week me and the girlfirned are opening a joint account and saving for the house we hope to move into in a couple of months so its save save save.
 
That picture brings back memories -- by far best cartoon series about them imo. Loved it and Darkwing Duck 🙂

I am Scrooge in sense that i am not big spender, but i do not horde money in sense of greedyness. I am too relaxed about that actually i think.

more duck tales karma, with added bonus for darkwing duck!
I think I'm a scrooge , well my sister say i "hoard" my money. I just like saving it that's all so i can buy a really nice pair or shoes or a coat so i can get something really nice and worth a lot of money.
 
I'm both...if that's possible. I plan ahead and divide up my money according to my needs. I save all the time but it is always for a purpose. In the last 5 years I have emptied my account about 4 times in order to pay for the trips I wanted to take or the things I needed to buy. I save my money but I have no problem spending it once I have enough for what I wanted🙂
