Is it normal to have this spending habit?

I don't pay my bills until the last possible moment. I don't put more than $10 worth of gas in my car. I figure, why waste the money if I might die or society might crumble before the bill is due or before I can use up my gas. The thought of dying with a full tank of gas and bills paid in full sickens me. IIN?

      My grandmother always drives 10kph (6.2mph) over the limit.

      When my cousins were younger, they just thought Grandma's car was cool cos it was a fast car :/

    haha I lived my whole 20s from paycheque to paycheque, laughing at all those who saved money, thinking I was gonna die young or the world was gonna end. Well both me and the world are still here and I'm a penniless 30 year old

    I have my bills automatically debited so I don't need to think. Otherwise I'd forget and panic.

    Some times I just don't pay my bills and hope the company will fuck up and not realize.

    The longer you keep your money in the bank, the more interest you make. If you pay your bills early, you lose that interest and the company you're paying gets it.
    Driving around with a full tank of gas is a total waste of money. Gas weighs around 6 pounds a gallon, so carrying it around costs you more gas to operate the heavier vehicle. It might only be a few pennies a day, but it does add up.

    Haha! I like your thinking. I don't see the harm as long as you do pay your bills. I'd hate to have to stop for gas constantly though.

      Well I only use $10-15 a week total. But I'd still do this even if I used more!

        I'd hate for my car to break down with a full tank of gas. Otherwise, I like to keep as much gas in it as I can in case of zombie apocalypse.
