i've always thought
my parents were tight, as they are very, very careful with money. I, on the other hand, spend every penny I've got at any one time.

If I ever earn more money than I expect (e.g. overtime) I don't see it as something to cherish and save, I quickly think of something to buy with it - something I didn't need until then. I'm a musician aside from my day job, and whenever I get cash in hand I can make £50 disappear in less than an hour.

I've always thought this was because I'd grown up being the opposite of my parents with money, but as I've grown older I've realised they're probably the way they are because they were like me when they were my age.

In summary, I'm probably going to end up in the same situation..

But at least I'll have lots of cigarettes and a nice piano :D

you sound like my brother
conversation once went:

him: oh i need five quid. but the machines only give me ten.
me: why dont you take ten, spend five, and then give five to the teller at the bank or just save it?
him: nah, if i took ten, i'd have to spend ten.


wtf?!
