I was in the middle of taking the test got up to this question WHAT ARE YOUR VACATION HABITS I answered it & the next one I was answering & the pop-up annoyed my PC & then I got the hourglass symbol & had to RESTART my PC

Everytime I go to http://www.About.com I have PC problems I try to stay away from that site!

I got 50% and said I needed to practice more. The coupon one probably got me big time but coupns not popular in my part of Canada, never offered by the stores. I agree that there weren't enough options, sometimes I just chose closest to what I do but really didn't apply.

[Hollyhandi]

71% here also

[Nada.Leona]

71% for me too.

I'm only 43% It says I know when to save money and when to spend it.

[ewokgirl]

I got 36%. It says I know when to spend and when to save.

Some of those questions really didn't fit. For example, I don't lend out money; however, I've been known to pay for a friend's meal, like if they've been doing a lot for me or for our friends who hadn't been paid in a long time. That's just kind generosity, IMO, not lending money.

Also, the vacation question didn't really have answers that fit. We stay in hotels, but often we drive, use coupons, cook some of our own meals if we stay in a place with a kitchen. They are truly budget vacations as we don't do anything lavish. We typically can have a very nice week's vacation away for $1000 max.

The quiz just didn't seem to allow answers for those who do things frugally (like buying high-quality items, but never ever paying full-price for them!), but still live quite normally by appearance. I hope that makes sense.

I am 36% as well. Darnit!
