Answers
Mostly a
You love luxurious things and when you can afford them, you get them. You can safe money, of course, but only because you want to spend it on something particular, something you really desire. Or you just have debts! You are also a very generous (hojny) person but don’t believe you can buy friends with presents otherwise you’ll have no money saved and no friends either.
Mostly b
You know what money is and you are very reasonable when you spend it. If you like shopping, you do it only if you can afford it. It’s really rare for you not to have any money at all because if you get a large sum, you safe half of it for later. You know perfectly how much you can spend and don’t care if anybody says you’re greedy (chciwy). You know what you’re doing!
Mostly c
You never spend any money and even when your friends go to the cinema, you prefer to stay home unless somebody buys you a ticket. You may have 1000 Euro in your piggy bank (skarbonka) and the only thing you think about is how not to spend it.
