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.
