Lets just say I am a thrifty spender
I'm more of a spender. He's the saver! But he does like to splurge when he makes purchases.
spender...
spender and spender
I am as thrifty as the next guy. If the next guy is broke and has a bunch of useless stuff he will probably never use again. My wife, she spends it all on Shoes...and by shoes I mean books.

I am frugal with food and clothes, cars. Partner is frugal with food. Sometimes she spends a little bit more than she should when she's going out. But she earns that right
Perhaps but considering I go out so rarely I think once in a blue moon is ok.

usually a saver, but makin moves cost money
I like to save, but that's usually because I'm saving up for a *big* spend on something later on.
I would like to save but I don't make enough to save much, so I think this is skewed based on the income level. He is a spender I think but frugal to some degree too...I think it is a lack of income there too.
Agree, we both live beyond our means... Circumstance...

we are savers, but we both like to spend on our selves or for each other once in a while.
Hehe, well I'm a saver of my own money or money that can be considered as mine (his money), but a spender of other's money if it's possible.
We're both kind of spenders, but he's definitely more so. I try to at least save a little unless there's something I'd really like to have.
saver... he's a spender :(
I'm a bit of both, so is my partner.
i love to save money when ever possible... if she doesn't like it or want it she is saving
I am a spender. He's a saver. He has to fight his own thrifty nature on occasion to please me. I appreciate that he steps outside his comfort zone for me, but still holds his ground when necessary!
