Are you a good saver of money?

Had I been serious about saving more than chump change, I could have potentially had enough to buy a home..
Like if I'd started from first job out of HS, even though some years I didn't make much. Just really squandered alot of my money, which, when looking back on it, I don't even have much to show for all the money I've spent, even though I am a thrifty shopper and get good deals.

First steps to accumulating wealth.......being conscious of saving and being in control of how you spend. You got those down....good for you!! Now you need to read up or learn from the experts how to how to increase and maximize money. You've done the hard part, now it's just a matter of finding opportunities and revving up the motor.

@iamnikki Put the "feeling stupid" stuff in the junk pile. You are a strong, intelligent woman with motivation to do and be more. Go get 'em GF!!

I think if you were earning a lot more then you could chastise yourself, but you have to live too, and many worthwhile life experiences aren't free.

@iamnikki You should try and get to the lake if you can. It’s hard though, to do new things like this sometimes.

@SW-User Getting there won't be a problem. Really wish I could get in a boat but I don't want to die trying to do something new.

@iamnikki yeah you have to feel comfortable about it. There has to be a way though. I’ll try and think of some ideas.

@iamnikki Nope. Only if you don’t want PMI. But that goes away after a while.
