Lemme put it this way:
Total Treasure Earned: 1,381,851
Treasure on hand: 17,233
*sigh*
I've managed the long and painful struggle of saving up enough for a pearlcatcher scroll, but that's pretty much my only triumph. I buy genes, apparel, battlestone, anything on the AH that's cheap... I need help. Please.

I'd have had a Spiral and/or a Seraph by now if I wasn't an impulse shopper.

I have spent 250k or so on reserve slots for babies I'm not even sure I will keep! >_< Not to mention the twice dyed cowl I decided I didn't like. After buying two of them... >_< yes I know this disease... Every time I get an urge like that now I buy a slot for my lair. Now they are getting to expensive to do that with!

Hmmm... what is this saving that you speak of? It is not a word that is in my dictionary. I do not know how to do it. Let's see... I've earned over 750,000 treasure... and only have 7000 on hand. Where did the moneys go? Into apparrell I don't need. How do you save? I've got not a frickin' clue.

I could use a bank. I actually function as one for a friend - she's sending me her downpayment on a pearlcatcher in installments, to avoid having the cash on hand. I can't spend it because it's hers. It works, mostly.

This thread makes me feel lucky that I'm pretty strict with myself when it comes to my money. XD Although I do allow myself 1-2 pieces of (cheaply priced) apparel or a hatchling depending on how much I have/how hard I've been grinding... practically every day.
I like to think it keeps me from blowing my money altogether.

I save up half way, then a Dragon catches my eye or Apparel or Skins.......

*starts saving up for a gene scroll -* Oooh, white Ridgebacks.
Cheap familiars, though. And cheap apparel that I want, eugh. I'd have managed to pay off the rest of what I owe for the Ridgeback if it was wasn't for those pale roundhorns being cheaper today than yesterday *grumbles*

I'll do great for days at a time. Saving up, meeting my goals, and buying things I generally use to improve my clan (scrolls.)
And then one night I'll stay up too late, go completely delusional, and be all "You know what I should do? Dress up my hideous purple male snapper like Colonel Sanders."
Then I'll spend half the money I could have spend on a gene buying clothing, seeing that it doesn't really work because some items need to exist still, realize I've just blown 50k on utter crap, and try to resell it all for what I paid.
Fortunately I was able to resell everything but what I decided to leave on him and I'll mess with it again next time I'm sleep deprived. Note to devs: We need glasses, a goatee, and a cane they can clutch in their jaws for no good reason would be amazing.

I buy so many things. Even if I don't think they'll go well with my dragons. Instead I'll tell myself I'll eventually have cute dragons that the colors will go with and then it just continues... We need like a Flight Rising Shoppers Anonymous or something. :P
