I thought this was kind of fun:
Answer:
Fun, but not very accurate, in my opinion. I could have answered part ways for many of them. And, I don't think that would have been wrong, to be honest. For example, when I make big purchases I get depressed, regretful and elated, not because we don't have the money that we budgeted for, but I worry about making the right decision while still happy that we made the decision to get what we needed.

Answer:
I agree. I pay my bills once a month, they are all paid in full and on time. I like to have that little piece of paper that says what's on my bill.
Also, when a friend calls for a ski weekend, I take a little money out of my entertainment fund and have a party. Life is too short not to enjoy it a little. If I wait until I have every single thing figured out, I'd never have kids because I'd think they were too expensive!
