I buy exactly what I fancy and trust I will have enough to pay for it.
I only shop with a list and I like to stick to store or generic brands – why spend more than I have to?
I don’t bother with a list, but I do try limit what I buy, although I can’t resist that new imported chocolate.
I have a list, but I allow a treat or two some ice cream or a new dish – to slip into your trolley
4So you’ve spotted your dream shoes – your very expensive dream shoes. Do you…
Buy them straight away in my favorite color, because life’s too short to walk away?
Buy two pairs in different colors? The shoes are so amazing and the end of the month is only a few weeks away, after all
Walk away? I simply can’t afford them. Sniff, sniff.
Decide they’re too expensive? Well, for now, because I’ll make a plan to budget and buy them next month.
5What would you do if you won the lottery?
Volunteering a part of money. Saving or investing the rest.
Buy whatever I want
Quitting my job and travel all over the world
Buy a big house with pool and luxurious car
6The laptop that served you so well during your teenage years, playing lemmings and editing html to make your myspace page look like it was snowing, has finally packed in. Do you:
A: Go to the Apple store and get a 15 inch MacBook pro. While there you buy an ipad and an ipod because they work so seamlessly together

C: Make the most of the copious amounts of computer clusters in uni. They may be a bit grubby but hey, they’re free
7The end of term is approaching and you simply can’t wait to whiz back down to your parents house for lots of cuddles and hot chocolate. But you need to book your train first. Do you:
A: Just turn up on the day - it’s not like it’ll cost more. Alternatively British Airways offer plenty of domestic flights. Taxi!

C: Sack off the train idea altogether. Megabus seats start at just £1. Just don’t sit by the toilet
8You’ve been invited to a black tie ball. You thought top and tail were just cheap cuts of meat and you are surprised to discover that you need to wear a tux. Do you:
A: Go to your regular tailor and get one made specially using the finest silks from the Middle East
B: Borrow one off your dad/uncle/wealthier friend; no point spending hundreds of pounds to look like a penguin
C: Get a marker pen and draw a bow tie on to a white t-shirt, polish up some black trainers and make a cape out of a bin-bag. Cinderella SHALL go to the ball
9It’s time for another big night out, but you are already running into your overdraft. Do you:
A: Whip out the credit card and get in a round of champagne cocktails. “Prosecco? I beg your pardon! Bring me the Moet.”
B: Accept that this isn’t going to be like that time in Cambodia when you guzzled a bucket of whisky for 50p and play it safe. Leave your debit card at home and take out a tenner in cash.
C: Buy a big bottle of cider for a quid and stash it in the bushes outside the club. Nip out for a sip every time you get thirsty
