These days, I tend to spend more than save. It's not like "let's buy this $50 item", but more like "let's buy a bunch of junk food", because I'm a sad kid like that. The things I really want are super expensive, and I'm just too lazy to save up. Pity, really, as I might've had enough for a laptop at this rate. XD;;
When I only got allowance, I usually saved, as I wanted stuff like video games. Most are over $20, which is how much I got every two weeks. Still did the junk food thing, though.
