I can be very good with my money if left to my own devices. I earn plenty and could save plenty too. I tend to save money where possible and there isn't much I need for myself. As for the money I don't spend I'm saving for a couple of big trips at the moment (well 3 to be exact) but it's all good there.

My mom however sucks with cash and is permanently broke meaning that I have to be there with the ready cash to bail her out at this rate although I did all I could to get the holiday booked off from work I won't be going Austrailia in september, she has a nasty habbit of taking money from me and either not paying me back or paying me back in drips and drabs so I never seem to save the cash again. She really doesn't want me to go Austrailia so I believe part of this is to stop me, yeah she's petty and selfish like that. Like I said I'm good with money when left to my own devices.

(btw anyone saying oh just don't lend my mom the money, she threatens me with throwing me out and means it when I say no then threatens me with throwing me out and means it if I pressure her to pay back the money she owes so I lose either way.)

If I have one flaw however when it comes to money it's I would rather spend my money and have a good time with mates then have more cash and a boring time or no time with mates at all. This means I will occasionally take my mates out to the pub even if one or two has no money to spend themselves.
