If you suddenly became very wealthy after years of living paycheck-to-paycheck, would you still use coupons, check for deals, and try to get the most for your money?

i think the person is too used to using coupons and can't "resist the urge" to use it or as an old habit.
-
Yes, it is ingrained in me. -
Yes I would still use coupons because I believe that Retailers over Price most of their merchandise. The price difference between wholesale and retail is huge. I have worked in whole operations. Bed Bath and Beyond prices their merchandise higher assuming everyone has their coupons. Many retailers are doing this. Macy's, JC Penny's and Sears currently price things higher and send coupons out. If I were ever fortunate enough to win Lotto I would not be one of the fools that spend irrationally until it is all gone. I would do work to benefit Autistic people because my Son is Autistic. These people genuinely need help and few care. I trust no one and would not trust anyone but my Husband to handle anything.

I don't think so, Rosie. It's such hard work these days just to stay even with the paychecks that my first inclination would be to take a permanent vacation from the effort. That does not mean that I would adopt a neuveau-riche-like opulence, but I would upgrade my lifestyle, after investing for the future.
-
yes. I figure the best way to get or keep your money is to be careful and not spend more than you have to spend.
-
Yes because if it is something you grew up with it will stay with you for the rest of your life regardless of how wealthy you became.
-
Yes, I'm sure I would. It's something I've done all my life. I've always had to watch my money and shop for the best deals, I doubt having more money would make me change too much.
-
I would for sure. I just don't like to pay any more for something than I have to. It's just too wasteful.
-
The money will remain in the bank or will be invested elsewhere. It will have no effect on my shopping habits. I will continue the same way buying just what is necessary at the best deals available. I enjoy my ability for self-denial and would recommend it to all.
-
Of course I would Rosie. I have learned that easy come does not need to be easy go especially when it comes to money. Hard earned or windfall...I will always count those pennies.
-
Yes ... most of the so called secrets of wealth have nothing to do with income and everything to do with controlling expenses and expenditures ... I would not want to blow the wealth, so I would be just as careful with every penny ...
