Its true wass, most boys are more fussed over designer labels than girls are, with us girls we can get away with buying stuff from high st. shops cuz it looks good too.

You do get exceptions to that obviously

when you get married rich or poor you will need to budget, that will mean saving even if it's just monthly.

When you become a parent and you have kids to look after you will definately save. That's being wise, stocking up provisions for your kids.

right now you have few worries you're single, still living with parents so you can afford to spend spend spend, enjoy it while it lasts lol

lol before my bro got married he was into designer labels, in his high school he was renowned for being the guy who always wore designer stuff (even though they had uniform). :roll:

With his first ever salary he bought a £300 armani watch... its not that he never saved, but he definitely liked spending on himself, family and friends.

this all changed after he got married - i think everyone who knew him was pretty shocked, lol. any designers he now wears are the ones he bought when he was single. my sister-in-law finds it difficult to believe he ever spent so much money on himself. yash is right - after marriage, budgeting becomes all-important. there are many more responsibilities to take into account.

Sounds like someone is ready for marriage

be realistic if you never save and you need to make a major payout ie pay for daughters wedding, wana buy them a car, want tuition for them. As a muslim would you want to take out a loan with interest or alternatively save up, no interest incurred?

Owning a house would be nice only for the sense of security it would provide. Right now it's not an option for me. islamic mortages that are on offer have very strict guidlines to follow before they even give you the loan. They're more stringent than regular mortage lenders. The expectations are so high that muslims either opt out and continue renting or just go for interest based mortages.

We are renting, the only thing i hate about that is moving, not looking forward to it. Hubby is used to it, i'm not i've lived with my folks for 23 years under the same roof, moving sounds stressful.
