how much a week/month do you spend on stuff you really dont need.

like beer and candy and movies.

things that you can go without.

3/13/2008 11:16:55 PM

3/13/2008 11:17:24 PM

and there should be some of it in everybody's budget

3/13/2008 11:18:42 PM

including fast food that I could make myself live on without it...like $150/wk.. adds up when you only make like $400/wk...mostly beer and the occasional ABC store run

3/13/2008 11:19:39 PM

an easy 500 bucks on 2 items, prolly 700 with food

3/13/2008 11:20:24 PM

my problem is i have trouble sticking to my budget. like i'll only spend my allotted monthy about but i sort of mix it up in between. like i will spend too much on going out so then i have to eat ramen for 849834 days because i went into my food moneys.

3/13/2008 11:20:46 PM

damn emperors VIP club.

At least $4500 per encounter

3/13/2008 11:21:30 PM

some of my friends try to average under 100 bucks a week for food but fuck that

thats like the meager rations option on Oregon Trail

3/13/2008 11:22:42 PM

but..the top one was only $4300...OR DID YOU GET MORE THAN ONE1111111

3/13/2008 11:22:46 PM

I pop a viagra first then get the cheap ones for longer.

3/13/2008 11:24:53 PM

too much, mostly on bar tabs

3/13/2008 11:25:19 PM

i got unlimited minutes on my cell

3/13/2008 11:26:00 PM

I try to limit it as much as possible but sometimes like over spring break I couldn't help it. :/

3/13/2008 11:28:07 PM

whenever im around dat lady friend i just cant help but spend spend spend, but i spend almost nothing on myself when she's not around so it evens out.

3/13/2008 11:28:53 PM

why do you let her spend like that

she's not gonna leave you if you cut it off


and even if she did, it's probably a good thing for ya

3/13/2008 11:30:24 PM

if anyone feels bad about their excess spending...just spend it on me...i'm a worthwhile cause

3/13/2008 11:30:48 PM

^^ she already left me, thats the best part

3/13/2008 11:31:31 PM

^^can't. too long of a drive

3/13/2008 11:32:19 PM

i spent $150 this week.

at least $60 or so was for gas.

a good chunk for groceries and food.

a little for random things.

id say this week was pretty darn good. but here comes friday

3/14/2008 12:00:59 AM

^ thats not unnecessary things

400 dollars at just one of the many bars I frequent (while drinking cheap shit) is unnecessary, thank god that period of my life is over

3/14/2008 12:05:08 AM

oh yah, i was just talkin about the total amount ive spent.. ive probably spent $30-50 for uness. things this week.

3/14/2008 8:32:37 AM

$300-$400 every two weeks

3/14/2008 8:33:17 AM

me and cody talked about this the other day

we'vee gotten better
but its still not good

and i really really dont want to do the math
make me feel worse


but dammit we have a effing great time

3/14/2008 8:35:05 AM

After paying rent and bills, I have $71.45 a week to spend on food, gas, ect.

3/14/2008 8:47:24 AM

more than i should

3/14/2008 8:48:38 AM

There was a point where I was spending 400-500 a month on going out (including dinners, not just bars), I though that was excessive... let alone 400-500 per week

Shit man, my wife and I try to keep it under $50 a week and we are never hungry.

3/14/2008 9:01:52 AM

it is easier with a wifey


honestly though, i think a big part of my excess spending is that I kinda stay away from fast food now... cuz I thought I would be eating healthier... which I think I may go back to, because now instead of grabbing some Sonic or Cookout I'll go to a restaurant and have 3-4 sodas/beer and an appetizer and a big entree. haha I just thought of that, I am an idiot.

3/14/2008 9:05:56 AM

if i spend extra money, its mostly on weekends.

3/14/2008 9:06:09 AM

on my monthly budget i allot at least $50/day for bar tabs.

3/14/2008 9:07:50 AM

dining out is our worst habit. we eat out almost every night, and depending on where we go can dish out >$125. she pays every now and then, but im stuck with the bill most of the time

3/14/2008 9:08:46 AM

geeeez i thought i was bad spending like $100 excessive dollars a month. and it isn't really "excessive" bc i don't go over budget it just comes out of other things. new jeans =s pb&j for a week. i mean 500 is just shy of my ENTIRE monthly budget. i can't wait until i have that much to just waste. ohhhh the life of a poor lowly student. i need to marry up, like now...any takers. jkkkkkkkkkkkk

3/14/2008 10:06:38 AM

3/14/2008 1:37:00 PM

At most like $10/week.

Out of circumstance, not out of personal choice.

3/14/2008 1:42:11 PM

Some weeks, it's as high as $25.

Some weeks, it's $3-6 bucks.


I work too much to go out and spend money
The weeks where I spend more? That's me not taking dinner to work.

3/14/2008 1:48:37 PM

it sucks. i went from a job that bought me lunch, to a job that ive gotta pay/bring me own

this is NOT "unnecessary"

Actually, you could argue that you should use public transportation.

3/14/2008 4:00:52 PM

^yah, i replied to that already. i was just breaking down my total spending for the week.

gas and food is not unnecessary, unless of course its extra stuff you dont need.

3/14/2008 4:02:21 PM

i have to drive 30 miles each way to work

3/14/2008 4:04:24 PM

5-10 dollars at the most

No, the meager rations option is 20-30 a week. 100 is my monthly budget for food, I have no idea how you can spend more than that in a WEEK.

[Edited on March 14, 2008 at 4:09 PM. Reason : .]

3/14/2008 4:05:34 PM

^shit, ive spent $100 on groceries for one meal for four.

3/14/2008 4:19:35 PM

I know right

3/14/2008 4:20:21 PM

$20 per week

I don't buy soda and I don't consider beer an unreasonable beverage

3/14/2008 4:22:49 PM

I easily blow $1k/month on shit I could live without. On the one hand, it sucks. But on the other...

very little


maybe 30 bucks a month

[Edited on March 14, 2008 at 11:43 PM. Reason : I don't have enough free time to spend money]

i'm as bad as a democrat.. lol. spending so much.

i should be ashamed

agreed

when my lady and I try to have a nice meal we'll go to the grocery and spend probably 35-40 dollars on all the parts of the meal. We tell ourselves we're saving money by not eating out ... but really we aren't !! lol the fun is in cooking and chatting.
