ringsandcoffee1. Did you get an allowance as a kid, and if so, how much was it?
Nope.
2. How old were you when you had your first job, and what was it?
Babysitting since around age 10. First job that required an application and interview and paid a real check was the holiday season at Macy's. Just tidying and occasionally getting something from the stockroom, no sales.
3. Which do you do better: save money or spend money?
Ehh depends on the day. Actually I'm better at saving. I still spend on things I don't need, like books and coffee, but I'm not out of control.
4. Are people more likely to borrow money from you, or are you more likely to borrow from them?
Borrow from me. I hate asking for money. I helped a work friend with an unexpected expense recently, and due to her life pretty frequently dealing her blows, I don't think I'll be paid back in the near future, but I don't care. She has enough going on and not much extra cash.
5. What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought?
1 - my condo. 2 - a new air conditioner.
Nope.
