I really have a phobia in buying stuff. Not that I don't want to waste money( I AM indeed, a money-saver), but I get tense whenever I have to buy something, whenever it's necessary or something that's not.

And online shopping, less tense, but I don't %100 trust it.

Ditto.

I am quite the opposite. I tend to spend and spend and spend. I am completely unable save. Often when I make a big purchase, I get nauseous afterwords when I think about what I've done.

I have that too, though it is mostly the fact that I don't like interacting with others (cashiers/etc.) to buy things and become very anxious. >_<

I used to buy a money-saver as a child.

Lately I have been buying an increasing amount off stuff and Im trying to put myself some sort of limit before I run out of money.
