Which way do you tend to lean in your private life?
I'll give you an example of each, you can interpret what I say in your own way.
By "Save a buck", I mean that you tend to clip coupons, buy lower quality off brand products, buy things that are on sale.
By "Make a buck", I mean that you tend to look for the more effective ways to make money.
I understand that some people might consider both a way of life, but I want you to really ask yourself and think, which of these is more important to you?
