Question

Chrometophobia I think it is called.

sage2021 · Accepted Answer

I have a fear of not having any money since my only savings was stolen in September. He got away with $5500 in cash! It took me since COVID to save that much money. I barely have money anymore now that my savings was stolen by someone I treated very well over a 7 year period. No good deed goes unpunished. 😞

My parents taught me to value money and not to waste it. They also taught me how to save money. So when I see something that I want I ask myself do I really need it or just want it? Most of the time it's I just I want it so I don't get it. I work part time in a local supermarket.

I don’t have that fear. But sometimes when I go out and spend a lot of money, I’m scared to check my bank account after. Does that count? lol i’ll literally avoid checking my balance for days

No I don't like overpaying for stuff, so I'll research to make sure I'm getting a good price and I rarely pay retail, but if all that's fine, I have no problem dropping money.

Honestly yeah I hate spending money since I'm such a saver. I think it is also because I grew up super poor so now even as a adult if I have money I don't wanna spend it

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

I'm generous to myself & others.  I guess that means I don't have Chrometophobia or Chrematophobia.

AviatorTom · Answer

No, I spend money when it makes sense to spend it, when I get legit value. Otherwise, I don't spend it.

HawkPerception · Answer

I would definitely say not. I try to stay as aware of how much I have at all times and get what I can and don't what I can't. Budgeting is a part of adulting. Just have to be realistic with what you should and shouldn't buy.

msc545 · Answer

Not really as
I've bought some very expensive things including sports cars and several houses. That said, I am very careful about my spending because I know from experience that I can get really out of hand if I let it.

HouseMoat · Answer

Not exactly a fear of spending money, but, I often have a hard time spending A LOT of money, so, if I'm giving you a lot of money, or buying you something VERY expensive, you should really be thankful, even if you didn't ask for it

Are you using "spending" as a verb or an adjective to describe a type of money? I have no fear of having "money of the spending type", I just don't like spending too much at any given time.
