Do you use your Steam Wallet for saving up?

[Axe]

What product/game are you currently saving for?

I do. I have £0.04 at present just leftover.

[BlackBloodGhost]

No way. Any money savings go elsewhere.

[WarHeRo]

i buy cs2 items and stock them, the price usually goes up.
also works for other games

[Pierce Dalton]

Nope.

[Chaosolous]

I don't directly put money in it to save but it does build up after awhile.

If there's ever any money in my Steam wallet it's because whenever I'm given those little trading card things when you play a game enough, I put them on the marketplace. It'll acrue $0.04 to $0.07 slowly every few weeks. Once I get enough (like $1 or whatever) I use it for when one of my wishlist games goes on a super sale where it's under $9 and just use it towards that.

No need to save for games.

I gave up saving up a long time ago. It seems if I have money in the steam wallet I'll just spend it like a drunken sailor.
So now I only put in a $20 wallet card just before I buy something, and then use the rest to open my pile of TF2 crates.

Its a shame I can't use my multiple hundreds of thousands of steam points to buy a Steam Deck though.

No, I sometimes top up the wallet though, but if I want a game I will just buy it.

I top up my wallet too when I can and also rely on building up with selling the card drops you get from games like Chaosolous mentions above.

I have a problem with blowing it too soon though. It's just too easy to enjoy the purchasing process, doh.

I never top up my Steam wallet but it has credit from selling inventory items.
I just burn those credits for card crafting.

I rarely need to add funds or pay with an external payment method. I sell more than enough items to keep my wallet nearly maxed out.

[Axe]

What? Maxed out = ?

[peppermint hollows]

No reason to imo. I just put money in if I'm going to buy something, only reason I ever have anything is usually just a few cents leftover if the game(s) I bought is slightly under the amount added. Or from selling cards or other items on the market.

Plus, if your account was ever stolen, the person who stole it could buy an item from their actual account through the market if you had money just sitting in your wallet. And unlike buying a game, Steam wouldn't reverse a market transaction.

naw, but I do dunk a few extra bucks on it a week before a sale event.

Ah. I never knew that and I'm guessing I'm not alone
